It was never a surprise to hear Joseph Gutierrez ’74 bragging about his late wife, Nancy, sons, and grandchildren. Known for his warm smile and enthusiasm, Joe had a welcoming personality that made it easy for others to open up to him. As a devoted grandfather, Joe played an active role in his grandkids’ lives, picking them up for school, taking them to practices, or bringing them donuts after Sunday mass. He died on July 27, 2024.
