Joe attended military school and catholic high school where he graduated and at the age of 19 years old rode his motorcycle out to California and resided in Los Banos the last 53 years. Joe with his love of motorcycles landed his first job at a locally owned Honda shop owned by Jesse and Mabel Areias through which he had met the love of his life Adrianne Areias. Joe and Adrianne were married April 26th 1975 and later had 3 children Monica (Cesar) Sara (Junior) and J.R. (Laura). Joe is survived by 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, sister Elaine Andreski and his best friends of 50 years John and Deena Gonsalves.

Joe worked hard his whole life and he retired from the laborers union always making sure his family was cared for. Joe was an avid hunter, loved to fish, loved his family and loved having a few beers with friends. No matter where Joe went there was someone he knew. Joe is going to be greatly missed by all but will never be forgotten.

You were ready but our hearts not. We love you.
