El Cajon, Calif. — The death of Father Joe Carroll drew strong support from the leaders of San Diego County.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said on Twitter on Sunday: “Father Joe is etched in the history of San Diego. His relentless dedication to serve our most vulnerable people has saved and changed countless lives. His The legacy will continue to be written in the next few years. He will miss it very much.”

Father Qiao, who is 80 years old this year, is called the “Father Liar”.

Senator Toni Atkins also paid tribute on Twitter, saying: “He is the light of hope and love for our community.”

Catherine Kloward, author of “Father Joe: The Life Story of a Liar Pastor,” said that Father Joe commissioned her to write a memoir of his life.

“If my story can inspire your life, and your life can also inspire the lives of others, this is what we do with the ripple effect,” Claude said of why Father Joe wrote a memoir.

Claude has been listening to Father Joe’s philosophy for the last two years of his life.

“Father Joe grew up in an apartment building, where everyone is everyone’s neighbor,” Claude said. “He just knocks on other people’s doors or walks in.”

“The kind of neighbor,’everyone is the neighbor we live with’, he brought it to the village, and how he sees compassionate housing.

Ruth Bruland, the chief project officer of Father Joe’s village, said that the news of his death was surreal because he overcame possibility many times.

“When he loses the ability to walk, it doesn’t stop him, when he loses his legs doesn’t stop him, when his eyesight starts to decline, maybe he should be slowed down, but that’s not the case,” said Brulan. .
