Joe brought so much joy through his music and his wonderful spirit. As a fellow musician, I deeply respected how gifted he was, and how much he loved music. When my mother came to visit, he was so gracious, playing all her requests. There is a big whole left in the world by Joe's passing. He will be truly missed. My condolences to wife Betty and daughter Julieth.

My sympathy goes out to his wife Betty and step daughter Julieth whom I know will miss his love and attention, after 10 years of his love and support. May God comfort your hearts.

To Joe Bonds family, I was truly shocked to get this email today about the passing of Joe Bond on May 28th.

My name is Ferman Covington, I also worked with Joes sister in Suffolk, she might remember me. God bless you, and I am so sorry that this has happened. But God knows bestg and we have to accept it. Peace and Love, Ferman Covington

Butch it hurt us all knowing you left brothers, sisters,nieces and nephews, without them having the opportunity to tell you how much they truly loved you, and to have the opportunity to be at your side in you time of illness. I loved our conversations you always had with me about your niece.I know you will watch over her from above as you did here on earth. To the Bond Family this candle burns for all of Butch's goodness, and good deeds.He's at peace in his Fathers kingdom RIP brother Butch.
