Not sure what to say?

I will miss Julian . He hired me for his Radiology group in 1982. He was a great mentor , personality , and driving force with Dr Bearden for the cancer center . Like Dr. John Fleming, he was a great raconteur and could tell you such detail as whose 5 th cousin married so and so!
Diana and I join in our condolences to Dorothy and their family.

I appreciate being allowed to play Dr. Joseys Steinway piano in the Gibbs Center. So often Dr. Josey would come and sit at piano and listen even with requests. I will continue to play to his memory. You are missed. Barbara Kolk [email protected]

Dr, Josey was a very kind man, and I am sad that I didn’t know him better. I had only met him briefly. I have known his wife Dorothy for many years. Dr. Josey has helped so many people from Spartanburg and surrounding towns. This world was blessed to have Dr. Josey benefiting his friends and neighbors. I am so sorry, and I send my condolences to the entire family in this time.

Dearest Dorothy,
I was so sorry to hear about Julian. Please know I've been thinking and praying for you and your daughters as y'all adjust to life without your sweet, loving, brilliant Julian. You were a wonderful wife to him and I'm thankful y'all had so many happy years together. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow as you and Spartanburg celebrate his life and all he gave and meant to his family and community.
Love,
Patti

Dear Dorothy and Family,
Dr. Josey was a dear friend to Roberta and myself. With his vision and passion, we developed plans for the Cancer Center and its future. We took many trips nationwide to obtain ideas to design a first class center. He wanted to make sure the Center was a comfort to patients from the art work, plants and waterfalls. He was a remarkable person, and his mark will always be imprinted in the community he loved dearly.
