In Memory Of
Alberto "Joe" Cortez

Alberto retired from Chrysler, Perrysburg, OH in 2000 after 30 years of dedicated service. He loved music, especially conjunto music. Alberto was a drummer for several bands in Ohio. He loved to watch The Ohio State Buckeyes football and was also a fan of the Cleveland Browns, and San Antonio Spurs.
