Jose Luna

Jose Luna was born February 13, 1947 and died on October 4, 2021, 74 years old. Joe grew up in El Paso, Texas. There was nothing that he could not fix or repair. He was mechanically inclined which fit his resourcefulness and meticulous nature. Joe was easy going with a straight forward personality.

Joe served in the United States Marine Corps in 1965 and again in 1972 achieving the rank of Sergeant. He also experienced combat when serving in the Vietnam War and was awarded the Purple Heart Commendation for being wounded as a result of enemy action. After his military service, Joe became an expert in repairing small arms while working as a civil servant and contractor for the United States Army at Ft.
