My mom Dorothy Firmin knew Joe many years. I remember him doing my hair when I was about 5 years old that would have been about 1966. He was our family friend. He was good to my sister Roma when she was pursuing her singing career. We spent many times at his various shops and home. We adored Joe. I didn't discover his passing for some time. I discovered that he passed while I was in ICU in a coma 11/16/15 for two weeks and 3 months incapacitated in a hospital from a near fatal dog mauling, it took years to recover and left me an amputee. My mom was in her 90s and senile. If I had known I would have wanted to hug him and say farewell to such a great person that he was to my family. As I reminisce about my life. I thought I should take the time to add a comment. Hope Joe Jr. is doing ok. Sincerely Dora Firmin

A kind, gentle soul, a true friend to my mother. I used to love going to the salon and later his store, with her. He was quiet but bigger than life. Wonderful memories! Rest peacefully.

I can´t believe 7 years have passed. Visiting Joseph with my mother on my trips to KC is one of my fondest memories. I still have many treasures to remember him by.

What a shock to hear of Joe's passing. He was easily one of my more unique and special friends. Sweet, kind-hearted, loving man. I'm sure he's lived past lives and will live future ones. Rest in peace.

We have been very sad since the passing of our oldest and dearest friend. I have known Joseph for over 50 yrs, and spent many days and weekends going hunting for antiques when we were young.Joe was one of the kindest and most understanding men I have ever had the pleasure to know. I know the 45th and state line area will never be the same with out the smile of Joseph. Our Love goes out to Martin and the Family,and our love for him will always be in our hearts. Joseph rest in peace we will always Love you.

Joseph was my friend of 64 years. We were neighbors in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He was extremely talented in many things. I looked up to him for all of those 64 years.
Joseph was a very good and kind friend. He will be missed by so many!
