Herbert M. Joseph Jr.

I remember his smile. A very special person. RIP!

Its been a dozen years since Herb's passing. Just last week, I found myself quoting Herb to a audience of mental health professionals. His impact on me and on our colleagues still endures.

To the Joseph Family:
I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague Herb. Herb touched many lives, mine among them. He was a man of compassion, integrity, great patience and humor. I know he will leave a great space in your lives, but know also that he will always be with you. He was so very proud of his wife and daughters, and always spoke glowingly of your successes and triumphs. My life is better for having known him. Thank you for sharing him with me.

Dear Joseph Family,
On behalf of our mother, Violetta Watts,Herbert's aunt, we would like to offer our condolences. Herbert was a wonderful person and we share many fond memories of him when he lived in New Orleans as a child as well as his many visits.

Dear Avolon:

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. We know you will miss Herb a great deal. Take time to mourn. However, remember that God is your refuge when it seems unbearable. We will keep you in our prayers.

Love and God Bless,
Gene and Helen LeGrande

I call you often just to say I love you; all our lives are so busy, but Mama always said to take a minute to show you care. My family really loved your wonderful husband and we will miss him. I will see you soon and will surround you with the love from our hearts. Love Donna, Sonny & Shanta

My deepest condolences to the Joseph Family and to the Boston area community of health professionals who were his colleagues. Herb was my intern at Boston City Hospital and then my co-worker and eventually my successor as Director of Psychology and the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology and years later as a member of the Massachusetts Psychology Board. I have always been very proud to be affiliated with him and have valued his friendship and his gentle caring over these thirty...
