"May God bless you and be with your family at this time of your loss. Johnny Joe will missed by all of us in the Maintenance Department here at Tyson. His go getter attitude and desire to learn was remarkable and set a example for others to follow. Johnny always had a way to make us smile and or laugh. His high spirited demeanor was always enlightening and enjoyment to be working with or around. May God look over Johnny and be with your family during this time of grief and sorrow. Our prayers and sympathy are with you during this time. "

Jesus Quiroz wrote on Nov 30, 1999:

"I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you, to tell you that I love you, to say what now must be one long, unbroken cry of pain, now that at last you've gone away. I cannot tell you what a joy it was to be the one to tend you in your need. The burden was a gift, for giving does not burden one who loves, though loving bleed. I wish I could have been with when you, perhaps aware, perhaps not, turned towards death alone, with no one there to wonder to, to share your fear, your hand, your one last breath. I wish, I wish, I wish... but it is done, and now I must surrender what is gone. I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE "
