    Joe was a wonderful realtor to work with. I remember him well from the days when I was an agent at his century 21 realty office in the 1980s. He spared no effort to always make things right for the agents working in his office. The Christmas parties were always a huge extravagance and the best. We always greeted each other in Portuguese my native language his second language. We also talked about how I now live in the land where his parents and grandparents used to grow potatoes in their farm in north Fremont. Yes Joe was a wonderful man that I am glad I had a chance to meet and know. Rest in peace my friend Joe Fraga

    Joe was a wonderful boss and friend. My mother Jackie Scott worked for him for many years. I cherish our years at Century 21-Mission, we had a great group of people, made many good friendships and I have fun memories from back then. It was like a second family. Joe created that. I am a so glad, I was able to stop by a few months ago to say 'Hi" to Joe and Shirley. I am sending prayers to Joe, Shirley and the family. Joe you touched many lives and are going to be greatly missed by many...
