Joe is preceded in death by his parents, son Joseph Lee “Yogi” Orosco, grandson Jason Joey Orosco, and his sister Emilia (Orosco) Espitia. Maternal grandparents Estanilado and Isabel (Lugar) Jacquez; and paternal grandparents Melquiades and Julianita (Valenzuela) Orosco.
Joe worked many years as a highly skilled concrete finisher. His favorite season was fall because of his love for the Dallas Cowboys and College football. He never missed a good boxing match, and enjoyed watching old wrestling matches. His all-time favorite show was Sanford and Son. He self-proclaimed himself “King of Dominoes.” He loved to play his music loudly (just ask his neighbors). They say you can’t have a favorite family member, but to Joe his Grandson Christian Davis was his pride and joy. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Rest in peace Dad!
