I'm not quite sure why joe was remembering his experience at the bakery. My guess would be one of two. He was remembering it because he felt betrayed by Bill Harper, Diane and Glen Hogan because of their dishonorable ways. So, he remembered this because in his dream here was a man who was very honorable, Jose. He was loyal and didn't want to disrespect anyone, unlike Joe's 'friends'. My other guess would be that he is remembering a time when he had all of his limbs and could use them properly.
Joe thinks he is a very admirable guy. He regards him in high honor almost. At first he and the workers thought he was lying about why he is homeless. As it turns out he wasn't, and they figure this out through a letter written by the wealthy daughter to Jose. They soon realize he takes a lot of pride in what he does. When he was searching for a way to get fired or quit, he rejected the workers' suggestions. He deemed them to be to dishonorable, as he is a very honorable person. And so is Joe, which is why he admires him so. This is why Joe was not able to forgive Bill Harper, Diane or Glen Hogan.

I think that he remembers because of Jose's loyalty, so your first idea. I'll bet that throughout the story that there will be many characteristics of the characters which will become very comparable. I inly say this though because already we're comparing them and they have similar names.
