On January 19, 2015, we lost a dear colleague and friend, Jose Ramirez. Also known by his nickname "Pollo," Jose had worked as a Sr. Custodian in Family Student Housing since 2010 and was well known to staff and residents for his great personality. He loved gardening and liked to give Bonsai trees to friends as gifts. Jose is survived by his wife Maria, and his two children Claudia and Alex.
