Joel Luis "Pike" Almendarez, 59, passed away Sunday, May 2, 2010 at his Houston home. He was born in Houston on December 8, 1950, to John B. Almendarez and Mary C. Laredo Paiz. Pike was known to all his friends and family as a loving, giving and caring soul. Among all his tributes, Pike was the life of the party, who had a love and passion for cooking and baking, and will be remembered for his favorite chicken pot pie and delicious desserts. He enjoyed going to the beach and traveling, but he never strayed too far from the sidewalk. Raised Catholic, he was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Houston. His sidekick and best friend was his sister, Belinda. They were like two peas in a pod, and spoke or saw each other regularly. He loved all his nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews with all his heart
