Joe dedicated his life to his family and career. He was a loving, compassionate and caring father, husband, friend and educator. He will be missed by all who loved him and cared for him.
He is preceded in death by his parents Jose and Paula Moreno, his brother and sister, his wife of 39 years, Maricela and numerous relatives.
