Posted in Uncategorized
  It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joe M, a cherished member of Cupertino Coin Club since January 2011 and dedicated Board Director. Joe passed away on Easter Sunday, May 20, 2025. Joe was an active participant of the Club, always bringing kindness and generosity to our monthly meetings and events such as the annual banquet.
  A devoted parishioner of St Joseph of Cupertino Church, Joe served as the Club’s liaison between the Club and the Church. In November 2021, Joe shared his numismatic expertise with us as a guest speaker, presenting on the topic of Irradiated Dimes.
   Joe’s wife, Rita, who is also a long-time member of Cupertino Coin Club, warmly invites Club members to attend Joe’s memorial service on Thursday, May 1, at St Joseph of Cupertino Church, located at 10110 N De Anza Blvd, Cupertino, CA. Viewing will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by mass at 11:30 a.m., and his internment will take place at 1:00 p.m. We hope many of you can join us to say goodbye to Joe, honor his memory, and celebrate his life.
