Visitation Information

"Florez Family I’ve known Joe since high school and he continued to be a very sweet friendly person. Before COVID I would see Joe at Zplanet Fitness and he always made it a point to say hello. May he Rest In Peace. I pray that you will find comfort during this difficult time."

"I have always thought of Joe his sister Vera, his brother Mickey and his Mother Lola as family. I thought of Lola as my second Mother, she gave me my first exposure to Mexican food, both eating and making it. I will forever cherish all those great growing up memories. I'm so sad to have lost a part of my family, but I will never lose all those great family memories. I am sending my condolences to all of Joe's family and to my sister Vera and her family. "

"Our deepest sympathy to the Florez and Rodish families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Rest easy Joe."

"Joe was family to us. He was such a wonderful man, so caring and loving. We will miss his special birthday cakes that he always brought for his Grandsons' birthdays! We'll hold his memories close to our hearts. XXOO "

"My deepest sympathy to the Flores family. Joe was a great person and proud Vietnam Brother. He will be deeply missed."

"I am saddened to hear of yet another of our South Deering lads passing on. Too many of these young men of our old neighborhood have departed with many "yesterdays", and not enough "tomorrows." While I knew Joe all my life, he was of a different age-group growing up. I knew his brother Mickey better, and his sister Vera I knew very well. As older teens, we would hang around at night in from of Santucci's candy store across from Bright School. I have vivid memories of Mickey and Joe running across the schoolyard to buy some candy or chips from the store. We would kid with them and, on occasion, toss them a nickle or a dime. Joe grew up to be a fine young man whom I am told was a pretty good ironworker and also a Vietnam veteran who served his country well. But, in my mind, I will always carry that visual of those two young boys running across the schoolyard. My wife Mary and I would like to extend our sincere condolences to his son, grandchildren, his sister Vera, and the rest of his extended family. Say "hello" to Mickey and the rest of our departed friends Joe...and may you rest in eternal peace."

"My sincerest condolences to the Florez family. I have known Joe since high school and always believed him to be the true embodiment of a gentleman. He was so proud of his sons and grandsons and always spoke highly of them. He will be missed by all who knew him and loved him. I was honored and privileged to call him friend."

"Dear Florez Familia. I met Joe in high school sharing many laughs. Always a gentleman. As we got older he would stop over & we would share many great conversations. Your kindness will always be remembered Till we meet again on the flip side. Your amiga. Camille Borozan "

"I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his son Joey grandchildren, his sister Vera niece Jana and the rest of his extended family. Say "hello" to Mickey and the rest of our departed friends Joe...and may you rest in eternal peace." You were a good man and a true gentleman. "
