He is also a planning committee member and long-time volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley, where he proudly served as a \u201cBig Brother\u201d for nearly eight years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oldest of eight children, Joe grew up in a migrant family and considers Central Michigan home. For over 20 years, however, Joe and his wife Robin have made the Quad Cities (QC) their home\u2014the longest they\u2019ve ever lived in one place. Both Joe and Robin retired from the U.S. Army while stationed at Rock Island Arsenal after nearly 60 years of combined service. Joe then retired from Davenport Central High School, where he taught for 15 years after transitioning from military service. As he tells it, upon retiring from the Army Robin simply said, \u201cYou need to go back to work\u201d\u2014and so he did.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe remains deeply involved in his church community. He serves as an usher, is active in the Men\u2019s Fellowship, and reads scripture during Sunday services at Saint John Vianney in Bettendorf, IA. His guiding principle: \u201cBlessings should be shared with others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Joe and Robin are combat veterans. Their dedication to service, both in and out of uniform, reflects their character and shared values. Joe\u2019s mother instilled in him the belief that \u201ceducation will make the difference,\u201d and he has carried that lesson with him throughout his life. He believes education is a lifelong journey.<img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1499\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gqchcc.com\/es\/his-journey-in-the-qc-joe-louis-moralez-a-legacy-of-service-educationand-community-building\/screenshot-2025-06-18-153120\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153120.png?fit=455%2C327&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"455,327\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-06-18 153120\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153120.png?fit=455%2C327&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-1499 alignleft\" style=\"width: 404px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153120.png?fit=800%2C291&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" height=\"291\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe holds a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Development from Michigan State University and a Master of Science in General Business Administration from Central Michigan University. His thirst for knowledge continues. Joe is currently taking organ lessons, just one of many examples of how he lives out his commitment to growth and exploration.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe and Robin have eight children, 19 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Joe openly shares that, during his teenage years in Michigan he was involved in gangs, but joining the military gave him a new path and ultimately saved his life.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the past five years, Joe has quietly battled stage four cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Yet his health challenges haven\u2019t slowed him down. He continues to volunteer with organizations like LULAC, the Big Brothers Big Sisters, and his church\u2014because, as he puts it, \u201cHelping others helps me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe believes that giving back is not a hobby\u2014it\u2019s a way of life. He is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the educational mission of LULAC Council 10. His primary efforts are focused on three education initiatives. The initiatives are the Scholarship program, Iowa Latino History Lesson Plans, and the LIDERAMOS Leadership Development program.<img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1498\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gqchcc.com\/es\/his-journey-in-the-qc-joe-louis-moralez-a-legacy-of-service-educationand-community-building\/screenshot-2025-06-18-153140\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153140.png?fit=412%2C477&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"412,477\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-06-18 153140\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153140.png?fit=412%2C477&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" width=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-1498 alignright\" style=\"width: 432px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gqchcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-18-153140.png?fit=800%2C501&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a scholarship committee member, LULAC has awarded 118 scholarships totaling $88,165 for the last three years.

The organization also provides volunteers for after-school and summer programs and has awarded $20,000 in mini-grants to support activities and supplies at Jefferson, Hayes, and Fillmore Elementary Schools.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In collaboration with the University of Iowa, Davenport Community School District, and LULAC, Joe provided lesson plan development support for the first-ever Iowa Latino History Lesson Plans. The Lesson Plans support the Iowa Common Core Social Studies Standards for third-grade students.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe provided planning and programming support to establish the Quad Cities Regional LIDERAMOS Leadership Development program (a program of LULAC Council 10). The purpose is to enhance and develop the skills of Latino\/a\/x\/es who are culturally aware, civically engaged, and community-serving.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe values his faith, family, and health above all else. Service to others is his life guiding principle. His advice is, \u201cFind your purpose and be passionate about it.
