To the Vigil family, our deepest condolences for your loss, just found out last night. Joe was a coworker at school and a great friend to Luke and my dad. He always asked for both of them when at school and was a role model for Luke that he waned to wear a set of keys just like Joe. May he rest in Peace and May God help the family with this loss. The Vieira's Betty Jean, Orlando and Luke

To Joe's family, my deepest condolences for your loss. Joe was a good friend of my dad's. We all appreciated the friendship he had with my dad. Joe kept my dad company during the many times when my dad was not able to get out of the house. They would read the paper together and would spend hours talking about the articles. They would also spend their afternoons watching Old Western TV Shows that they both enjoyed. We all appreciated Joe's company as we knew that my dad had someone to visit with him and someone that he had a lot in common with. So now in 2023 they are both enjoying each other's company and right now they are probably watching Bonanza. Please find comfort knowing that he is no longer in pain and is now free of all of his pain and resting comfortably. May Joe Rest in Eternal Peace.
