To The Entire Joseph Family,
My wife Susan and I would like to extend our deepest and most sincere condolences. Art was a remarkable individual and it was always a treat to be associated with him in the many times that arose. He always gave us a helping hand when we needed it and always with a wry sense of humor and good feeling. We will miss him dearly.

God Bless All,

My memories of Art are that of a bright eyed, curley black haird bundle of energy, playing with my two little girls. He would have been 1 8 or 19. I havn't seen him in many years but heard of what a wonderful man he grew to be. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Dear Ginny and all the Joseph family-

There are no words for the loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and brother. Bless you all - and may your memories always be warm and bright. He will always be with you and watching over all of you - especially taking pride in all of his grandchildren.

In behalf of all of his classmates in the Weymouth HS/VS Class of 1952, we send our heartfelt condolences. We so enjoyed having him with us last year at our 55th Reunion and were hoping to see him again this year in September for the 56th. We know he'll be with us in spirit and will have a few classmates there to celebrate with him in that happier place. We'll raise a toast to the memory of all of them.

Bless all of you in the Joseph Family -

And to Phil, our thoughts and memories are with you for the sadness and loss of your brother, friend, and partner. That you were both together in our Class of 1952 was really special.
