Joseph Luis Alvarez

Joseph Luis Alvarez, 67, of Parkland passed away on May 7, 2020.  He was born on December 17, 1952 in New York City, New York.  He was a long-time resident of Brooklyn, New York before moving to Boca Raton.

As it happens in many lives Joseph developed many medical issues over the last 20 years but he managed them with grace, dignity and fought those issues with everything he had.  Many called him tough, a fighter and having nine lives but those who know him best knew him as a decent, kind and loving man who will be missed by many.

Joseph was preceded in death by his parents Ricardo & Celia.  He is survived by his partner and wife of 40 years Nancy Sergio, sister Sonia M. Alvarez, Niece Cindy Y. Roldan, and Nephew Joseph N. Roldan.

"Joe" and Nancy met while both worked at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in 1979.  Joseph later moved on to work for the Boca Raton Community Hospital and the Debbie-Rand Shop.
