The family of Joseph Thomas Giminez of Stockton, CA announces his passing, and invites all who knew him to remember him here.
Some stories deserve to be told slowly. This is one of them.
Joseph stood in service when he was needed; that, too, is a kind of legacy.
Joseph Thomas Giminez ("JT"), 83, a lifelong resident of Stockton, passed away on April 22, 2026 after a brief battle with cancer and pneumonia. He was surrounded by his loving family. He enlisted in the Army at a young age. While stationed in Germany he met the love his life, Ingrid, who survives him. Upon returning to the States, he began studying to be and became a mortician. He loved his work (something not everyone can say) and dedicated himself to the profession for over forty years. He loved his family intensely and would do anything for them.
He is survived by his wife, Ingrid; his daughters Christina, Joyce, and Sandy; and his son-in-law Christopher, who will all miss him until the end of time. In accordance with his wishes, no services will be held.
