Jose was a jack-of-all-trades. He went from being an amateur boxer to a migrant worker, to a logger to a butcher, to railroad worker, diver, cleaner of ships, to a welder, and a DJ. Jose also was an employee of Miller Coors for 20 years. He retired with his wife in Del Rio, TX for 15 years. Within that time, he and Rosa fulfilled their lifelong dream of travelling to Europe. Five years ago, they returned to Milwaukee to be closer to their family. He loved music, dancing, and collecting Cadillacs.
