To Sam's Family;
I am sorry for your loss but hope the memories of his long and helpful life will stay with you forever. Sam was one of the surgeons I knew who really loved people as much as their problems. I worked with Sam for a number of years at GHMA. I vividly remember one day when one of my favorite patients had a surgical problem and there we were in the exam room at 5:30 pm on a Friday where Sam examined the patient and explained to her what to do and to call him if she had any further problems. The three of us were just visiting and hanging out for a while before she left and I was so impressed with how personal he was and could put patients at ease. Now you know why he was always late for supper!

We are so saddened to hear about your loss. Dr. Joseph was an amazing man. Nicole insisted on only seeing him anytime she had a broken bone. He was a great inspiration and was always a joy to be around. He cared so deeply for all those around him. Hs faith showd in all he did. He will truly be missed by all he knew him.

Dear Joseph Family,
I was talking about your Dad just the other day and remembering his teasing sense of humor in the office and was saddened to read of his passing. He was a wonderful person.
I worked with Dr. Joseph at GHMA for many years and have great memories of his caring and kindness to both his patients and staff. I was telling a friend the story of how I would tell him "ya me voy" when I was leaving for the day. His response was always "Ah - La joventud, ya se va para no volver" and it always made me smile.
My sincere condolences to you all.

He was serene. He was patient. He was kind. He was gentle. He was peaceful. He was caring. He was giving. He lives on through his children and his family. The way he lived and the ways in which he touched so many lives will allow him to live on in our memory. With great regard and deepest sympathies,

To the Tucson Joseph's, our nearest cousins.
We were all so fond of Uncle Sam. He holds a very special place in our hearts, this king of puns. I think Dad would have been lost without him all those years away from the rest of their family members. They had a special bond; loving, kind, sympathetic. I'll never forget my favorite uncle, my godfather Sam. Sitting around listening to Dad and Uncle Sam tell stories from their childhood was one of the best things.
The two of them loved to laugh, and make the rest of us laugh too. We were all so lucky to have family holidays celebrated together with great food, fun, and long walks after our big meals.
The Joseph brothers are all reunited. Much love to you all.

Dr. Sam was the best of the best; the kindest, funniest, and most loving man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was, and always will be, a part of our family. We will treasure the good times made that much sweeter by his presence, and I will personally miss the great 'sea stories' we often shared together.

To all of Sam's dear ones, I had the privilege and pleasure of working at GHMA with one of the finest men I have ever known. His compassion and caring and sense of humor worked its magic with the most apprehensive of patients and he treated all of us on staff like family. I have many fond memories of your Dad/Granddad and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Lois Boone, RN

Dear John and all the Joseph family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your dad/grandfather. My dad always laughed about a visit he had to your dad's office. He said, "Dr. Joseph, my wife says my hearing is going." To which your dad held his watch up to my dad's ear and said, "Frank, can you hear this ticking?" My dad said, "Yes," and, and your dad replied, "Then you're okay!" We keep our dads and their senses of humor in our memories forever. God bless,

Dear family of Sam Joseph. I moved back to Tucson in 1969 and started my medical practice. My office was at 888 S. Craycroft, in what had been Dr. Joseph's office. Richard Dale was practicing in the same suite. My wife and I attended Mother of Sorrows also. I recall a meal at your parent's home. Homemade pasta and spumoni ice cream. What a treat! In 1976, we moved to NC, so I did not see Sam's return to practice. Your parents were the greatest, especially at showing hospitality. I know the loss for you is hard, but I also know they are happy together in heaven at this moment. Rose and Dick Finn

Dear Joseph family,
I met Sam when we arrived in Tucson in 1964 and, from that moment, counted him as a friend (as did everyone else.) Though he went through many hard times in his life, I never heard him anything but bright and cheerful.
The world needs more people like him and your mother - two wonderful people.
Sincerely,
Peter Crowe (and Franny)

Dear Mark, Mary, Tom, Tony, Gina and John,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. He was such a kind man - I have so many fond memories of the holidays that he, your Mom and your family invited us Kelly girls to share with you when we were kids, particularly Christmases and the never-to-be-forgotten Easter Egg Hunts. He was a very special man and will be missed by many.
You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers...I am sure that he and your Mom will be watching over you all from their special place in Heaven.
