Dear Jan,



I am so very sorry to hear about Joe. I just found out and feel terrible. I was reminded of our old Duffy's days. I hope you find comfort in your wonderful memories.



Thinking of you,

Eileen



I hope you are doing ok.

To all who will read this, I want to thank you for all of your support. Losing my soul-mate and life partner without fulfulling so many of our dreams is incomprehensible, but the kind words and gestures from everyone is helping to ease the pain a little. I would like to turn around and express my sympathies to all of you because you also lost someone who touched your lives. Although it is nowhere near the magnitude of loss I am feeling right now, you are also feeling pain right now. They broke the mold when they made Joe and I am thankful for all of the wonderful years we shared together. There just wasn't enough time for us. Joe, you are and always will be heart and soul. I will live the rest of my days trying to make you proud of me.



With my love,

Jan

Joe was a wonderful and funny guy and I will always remember him fondly. He was a brother to me for many years. We had many happy times together working on the Orange Vega Car and the Kawasaki Motorcycle. When he was young he loved Jerry Lewis and used to do a lot of funny Jerry Lewis impressions that always made me laugh.

My deepest sympathy to Rafael, Ofelia, Becki, Joe’s wife and children.

Jan, So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. What a great loss this is. So sorry we can't be there, but it appears you two had many great friends. My favorite recollection of Joe was on your wedding day at the racetrack. What a great time...and how nervous Joe was!!! All he wanted was for your big day to be perfect. Love and prayers.

Dear Will,



I can't imagine the pain you are going thru at this time. Your Dad was such a great guy and so much fun. I remember as a kid how he would just stop in fixing things around the house for your Mom and his kids. I never thought divorce was such a bad thing, because your parents always seemed like a couple.



Football on the front lawn, boy scouts (pinewood derby,Napawan,Eagle Cave,baseball,chillin in the yard.



He was always cracken some kind of joke or remark that always kept us laughing. He was the kind of Dad most guys would of love to have had. You and Melissa were the luckly ones, and I hope your pain will ease in time my friend.



Were all a phone call away Will, and

will be there for you.



Melissa and Mrs. Alleguez's I'm so deeply sorry for your loss and your pain.



Your friend,

Dear Willie and Melissa,



Our family is so sorry for the loss of your father, who's life was much too short on this earth. This neighborhood knows what a great father he was and how very much he loved the two of you.

You both gave him so much pride.



Both Mom and Dad always showed so much respect towards each other and the feelings of their children. You were very bless having such great parents, who always placed your feelings first through the years.



I just had seen you Dad at Osco last week as the two of us waited in line talking about the days of Boy Scouts and the great times we had with our kids at Napawan. You Dad made that weekend sleeping in the cave with bats and bugs most enjoyable with his great sense of humor.Not too mention the increditable horseback ride trip that almost put Mr. Koob in the hospital.



I will cherish the memories and many smiles we all shared with your Dad.

throughout the years.



He will always be with you both, guiding, protecting and listening especially in your dreams.



May God Bless all of the Alleguez Family during these difficult days.



Fondly,

Amy Melvin
