Jose was a kind man. I road the bus with him to dialysis and we lived in the same neighborhood. I miss his musical voice when he said ” Good morning ” to me when I got on the bus. I saw how much trouble he was having coming down the steps off his porch and how much trouble he was having walking but he tried everyday. May God comfort all of his family during this sad time.
