Jose loved his wife, Eloisa deeply, and the two enjoyed traveling together. He had a true passion for truck driving and took great pride in life on the open road. When he wasn’t driving, he found his greatest joy in spending time with his family, and friends laughing, talking and simply being together.

Music was another love Jose enjoyed. He also made many dear friends at El Tenampa Restaurant, a place where he shared laughter stories and good times.
