Jose was a very kind man. He was funny and had an incredible zest for life. He loved being a physician and cared deeply for his patients. I’ll never forget the first day I met him in the Emergency Room and especially our endless conversations. He loved his family very much. To his wife Sylvia and the entire Garza family, my deepest condolences. I hope that your memories of Jose bring you comfort. May Jose rest in eternal peace.
