Jose "Papa Joe" Vallejos, age 66, a resident of Albuquerque, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, on Tuesday, March 12, 2013.

Jose is survived by his wife Vickie; his son Dennis Romero married to Dee Dee; his sibling Leonardita married to Porfirio Lopez, Isabel and her late husband Eppy Torres, Eleanor married to Gene Barela, and Edward Vallejos. His loving memory is passed on through his two grandchildren; Amarise and Jonathon, and several loving nieces and nephews. Jose was fond of the outdoors and enjoyed raising cattle and sheep. This gave him the opportunity to improve his roping and horseback riding skills. Each year he looked forward to the start of deer and bird hunting season. Jose and his brother Rosendo spent hours performing their own version of Hee Haw. Jose sang and imitated Buck Owens, while Rosendo played the guitar and imitated Roy Clark. Their Hee Haw show was a great hit and brought countless hours of laughter and smiles to all those who were fortunate to catch an episode. In 1985 Jose married Vickie Romero and made a home in Albuquerque. His love and devotion to his wife was unwavering and selfless. He retired from the City of Albuquerque at the young age of 43. After retirement, he worked part-time landscaping and enjoyed working outdoors. His crowning joy came nine years ago with the birth of his granddaughter, Amarise. Not to be outdone, four years later his grandson, Jonathon, burst into his life. His favorite pastime was playing with his grandchildren who referred to him affectionately as "Papa Joe." Jose was a member of the St. Anne's Catholic Church in Albuquerque.
