Re: Rest in Peace, Joe Santana Posted by Evelyn on February 15, 2021, 11:19 pm, in reply to "Re: Rest in Peace, Joe Santana" I am so sorry, sad and shocked to hear this news. I had no idea he wasn’t well. I was so fond of Joe and for so many years, he was the one responsible for me finding the lot I built my casa on over 20 years ago. He gave me such good advice, and always steered me in the right direction. I shall miss him and his wry sense of humour. Town will not be the same without him. And Joanie, I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you. My heart goes out to you.

Re: Rest in Peace, Joe Santana Posted by Roberto on February 16, 2021, 6:58 am, in reply to "Re: Rest in Peace, Joe Santana" Over 20 years ago on my first trip to LaManzanilla the first person to great me on the streets was Joe Santana. Joe showed me many interesting and great areas around the area. We had many great adventures in the years around the Costa Allegre. Joe had a great eye for the beauty of the area and captured many of the beautiful places with his photography. Joe and Palapa Joe's will be an icon of LaManz. I witnessed many of his charitable contributions to the area and the people. Really can't imagine coming to LaManzanilla and not seeing Joe. May Joe RIP. My candolences to Joannie.
