1Sg Santos

Joseph Junior Santos was born in Santa Rita Guam to Pedro and Regina Espinosa Santos on February 5, 1951, he was the oldest of his 12 siblings. At the age of 17 he joined the United States Army and served honorably for 24 years. He was a kind and soft-spoken person, who greatly enjoyed bringing his family together. He was the host of several family gatherings, in which the family played, cooked (plenty of Chamorro food) and enjoyed one another.

Joe always had a smile on his face in the presence of his grandchildren, and was always feeding them some kind of tasty treat. He loved watching them play and enjoyed seeing all their animation and characters on display.

He loved fishing and gardening to pass the time. In his garden you would find Roses, Gardenias, Orchids, Hibiscus, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. He tinkered on do-it-your-self projects and was very proud of his completed work.

He is preceded in death by his loving parents, sister Lydia, and brothers Johnny and David Santos. He is survived by wife Linda C. Santos. Three children, Lettecia, Joseph, and Vincent, two step-sons Anthony and Enrique. Eight grandchildren, and one great-grandson. Eight siblings, Rosita, Lourdes, Elizabeth, Nancy, Edwin, Steven, Geraldine, and Vincent. And numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces.

He will be greatly missed and was truly loved YHWH.
