Hai Buddeeeee!

Joe, we will be missing you. 'Cause you were the only one who represented Hawaii. You teached us Hawaii is more than flowers and volcanoes. Hawaii also is jellies, waterballoon shooting, pokermachines, fake parking lots tickets, a garbage canister full of tools and espacially those cracking jokes. Hé Buddy, will you keep those for us later on?

He Helped With My Engagement

Joe will be apart of our lives forever. He built a sandcastle for Tara saying "Tara Will You Marry Me" last year 08/15/2005 at the Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki. We will always have Joe in hearts and minds.

Goodby Joe

Joe too soon my friend. Thanks for all the good times at the Moose. You will be missed, missed greatly by all of us. You were as much a part of the place as the furniture, booze and air your rantings at us were a part of what we all love about the place. The stories of your sand scuplting and the people kept us enthralled over the years and your habitual crankiness at us "dirtbags" made us laugh and know we were loved by you. Thanks Joe, and keep them clouds moving till we all have one together again among them

Joe your sense of humour and joie-de-vivre always made you an attraction inside of the sand sculpture tent in Quebec City. We missed you this year but everyone had a feeling that you were there in spirit. Thank you

Joe, you died too early untimely before we could see you again and your works of sand art. Your smile while you were in Japan much attracted all of us. When we had a nice reunion with your mother 35 years after you left Japan, your mother told us proudly about you and your works attracting so many people in Hawaii. As you are much younger, we were waiting for a better opportunity to visit Hawaii to see your works without thinking of your such earlier death. It is our great regret to have missed you and your works before we have nice reunion with you. May we add our sincere sympathy to that of the many who knew and admired you, Joe.

So proud of Joe

Joe--I know I was not your favorite sister, and you were my favorite brother. I have been so proud of you over the many years, especially in your art. I smile to think that perhaps you are now making cloud sculptures, and when I see clouds looking rather artsy, I'll know it is your handy work..May God keep you, sweet brother. See you again at the Throne!!!!! I love you.

To my Only Son

Dear Son: The day you were born I knew the mold was broken, you are unique in your own way, and lived life to the fullest. I have always loved you and always will, to lose a child is the hardest thing to ever bear. You lived your life the way you always wanted too, with wonderful friends at your side, and family that was always there for you if you needed them. We have seen many places in the world, and I am fortunate to have such a son that touched so many hearts and lives, its comforting to know that you were loved not only in my heart but around the world in many hearts. Sometimes I wish our lives could have been different in one way or another. When I heard of your passing I was devastated, however, reading sites such as this gives me comfort that you were always taken care of amongst people you love, and that love you. I cherish the day that I get to meet with you again,our family that is waiting for us. Julieta, please watch over my baby boy, he is my only son and a special light in my life. I'll always love you Joe maize. Love, Mom.

Joe was my friend. We met in a ceramics class in 1974. Joe and I had many wonderful adventures together. I was very fortunate to have been his friend. He had a profound impact upon my life. Joe, thank-you for being you.
-- Always, Guanito.
