Jose A. Gonzalez
July 21, 1960 — January 25, 2008
Jose A. Gonzalez, 47, owner of Gonzalez Grocery in Lorain, passed away suddenly on Friday, Jan. 25, 2008.
Jose was born July 21, 1960 in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, moving to Cleveland in 1977. In 1993 he settled in Sheffield Village, one year after opening Gonzalez Grocery in Lorain.
A dedicated family man and businessman, Jose worked hard to provide for his family and was caring and kind to his patrons at his grocery store. Because of the time it took to operate the business, Jose took every Sunday and devoted that day to his family and grandchildren.
Jose leaves behind his wife of 28 years, Lilliam (nee Mateo); his children, Jose A. Jr., Antonio, Tony, and Lily Gonzalez-Tennant all of Lorain County; 8 grandchildren; brothers, Sony, Jorge and Carmelo and a sister, Julia Gonzalez all of Cleveland and many other brothers and sisters.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonardo and Dolores (nee Crespo Claudio) Gonzalez; and his aunt, Ramona Montanez, who raised him after his mother died.
The family will receive friends on Monday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Chapel, 4301 Pearl Ave., Lorain. As Jose had wished, funeral services and burial will be held in Puerto Rico. The Dovin Funeral Home, 2701 Elyria Avenue, Lorain, is handling the arrangements. To send online condolence to the family, go to www.dovinfuneralhome.com.
