Lee admired a watch I had and said, “Dude, beautiful watch.” Without hesitating I took it off and placed it on his wrist. He was in awe. “No ones ever done something like that for me before.” I smiled and whispered, “it’s yours.” Upon returning from vacation I got the news. Tears filled my eyes. And my heart sank. We were going on two years, two contracts. Gonna miss you. I love you brother. See you on the other side. We’ll be laughing again till our guts hurt. Amigo querido.

I know that those of us who are unable to attend will be watching. For we all lost a good friend. Joseph has touched many lives throughout his life. For I know that those of us who met him are very blessed and he will be missed more than words can ever say.
