To the family of Joseph Carrero, my feelings are mixed. First I rejoice in his peaceful state with our Creator especially after the last year being so hard and also my empathy to the pain you are feeling at missing him. By knowing of him through one of your family members tells me he was a quality man, husband, father and provider. You are blessed with having him as a father, husband and grandfather.



My family and I give you our sincerest blessing and regards.
