As one who was privileged to have participated in a few if David and
Jose's late-night (well, alright, all-night) seances, I can attest to
everything he wrote in the second paragraph, and most of us know the
truth of the first. In the last year and a half, Jose and I would get
on text "benders", rambling on about the greatness of this or that
great film or scene, until the other participants of the thread had to
tell us to shut-up and we had to get our own personal thread. I still
have it with David, but it's silent now.
Everything that reminds me of him, and there are so many things that
trigger random memories, make me miss him so very much. This has been
a sad, sad week, and it's only Tuesday.
Thank you, David, for the good words in his memory. He richly deserves them.
All my love,
John

What a blow this is. I've known Jose since "the beginning". We have been
frolicking since 1988 or so when I met him in a Spring class. My admiration
for his gusto and generosity on the stage was deep and abided when we
finally were able to play together at the Reunions. He has been my comrade
in keto, in showboating, and in calamitous amounts of late-night drinking.
(But he had a special potion which he marketed for a while and which he
claimed eliminated hangovers. It didn't.) He and Robert Stevens were my
roommates in 2015 and I must correct the record: Jose was put in the closet
because HE snored, not us. Also, as an index to his selflessness, he
volunteered to go into the closet, he wasn't compelled, and the closet
didn't really help.
Jose and I chatted regularly throughout the zoomdemic. I will miss our
late-night quaffing and planning future playdates and hearing the music of
his laughter and the sonority of his profounder emotions. I loved the man:
our universe shrank a little when he left it. My heart goes out to all of
you who were closer to him than I was. He loved you all so much.

He did indeed do that. Because of the snoring in the room itself.

You know a person's character by the way they treat their dogs, and Jose
treated his like royalty, including his fat pit bull Tinkerbell. He made me
laugh out loud and I’m filled with a deep sadness that he's gone. Jayne
P.S. Didn’t he drag a mattress from one of the beds into the closet in ‘15?
Voila. A room of his own.

I have wonderful memories of Jose from our last in person reunion,
including him sleeping in the closet because all of us that were his
roommates were such loud snorers! His was a warm wonderful soul, and he
will be missed by all that knew him, I am sure.

This is terribly sad news, Don. I’m so sorry you’ve had to carry it to
us. Jose seemed always ready to share the light he walked in.
If anyone knows how to reach Jose’s family so we can send cards, it would
be much appreciated if you could share it.
Thank you.
Carpe Diem.
Love,
Alice
