My BROTHER, I am a better man because of you. We met when I was 18 years old. The things we did together, no one would believe. We could or should start our life stories with "Once upon a time". A part of me has left with you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. I love you O, and the World has lost a good one. Rest easy.

Joseph B. Gamboa AKA O-Man: We watched each other grow up in the Marine Corps starting from 18 years old - we became the best of friends and were literally partners in crime as we raised hell while stationed at NSB Bangor (Seattle) and 2nd Battalion 9th Marines (Camp Pendleton) as young Marines deploying, partying, fighting against civilians, soldiers & sailors every chance we got! But we eventually matured and figured out how to make the most out of life without causing trouble! He was Best Man in my wedding, Godfather to my son and Groomsman in my last wedding. He was all the things you'd want/need in a brother/great friend. His untimely departure deeply saddens me as I leave you with this Quote: YOU NEVER KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF A MOMENT UNTIL IT'S BECOME A MEMORY. (Make the most of your life). To the Gamboa Family, you have my deepest sympathy & Semper Fi Marine - I expect he'll be standing fire-watch in Heaven until we meet again!
