    I was sorry to read of your loss. I knew Joe through the Wilmington Singles Golf group. I later ran into him at the gym. I will miss being able to talk with him at the gym. My God help you through your loss.

    It really was a pleasure to work with Joe over the past couple of years. He was a walking history book, telling us about his experience while working for the secret service. He love his family a great deal. Just before his retirement in the security field he often mention that I'm only working now to provide money for my grand children college education later. May God keep&comfort you during your loss

    Joe Vasquez was a fine man. We were always glad to see him. Not only did he possess great physical presence and physical courage, but he was also known to the two of us as a thoughtful man, a reader of books and as an entertaining raconteur with a keen intellect. We will miss him and we will always remember him.
