Name: I. J. Morris Funeral Directors
Address: Brooklyn, NY

I Googled Joe's name and found this obit.  I was a hairdresser and worked for Joe Kaufman in his Jo Sans beauty salon on Avenue U back in 1968 (when I was 18) till about 1973 when I left and eventually moved to Maryland.  Joe and Sima came to my Wedding July 1972 at La Mer in Brooklyn, NY.  It was my first and only hairdresser job and it was wonderful working for Joe.  I remember the family, Joe and Sima's kids as they called them "Richie" and "Randi". I remember Sima suffered with MS.  Joe's sister sometimes helped at the front desk. I remember working  at Jo Sans with great fondness, like it was yesterday. All the great things they say about Joe here in the obituary is true.  I don't remember Joe talking much about being in the Korean War, but many military men didn't talk about any of the wars they may have been in.  I tried to google him before but never found anything, sorry I couldn't find him before.  Wish his family the best, enjoy your memories, God Bless you all.

                                                            A Loving Person: Joesph Barney Kaufman

          Joesph Barney Kaufman was a loving person to most, and a doting father, grandfather. That man never had a single bad bone in his lifetime. My mother, Randi Kaufman; had told me stories about him during his time in the Korean War. (Joe also told some war stories, but not as much.) She told me about the time that my grandpa was supposed to be off-duty, but the other man faked being sick (because he had a family), and the scout said that his area (that he was patrolling/guarding) was supposed to be bombed. Luckily, that didn’t happen. And when my Grandfather told this story to my mom, she was pissed! My mom when she was told the story, was more mad then he was; and trust me, it takes my mom a lot to get her angry. About one year ago, the man (who I mentioned in the war story) contacted my grandfather, and he apologized greatly. But my grandpa said it was fine (even though he could’ve died) and they talked like they were old friends. 

He was honestly the greatest person I knew, and the biggest role model in my life. He will be missed by friends and family alike, but I hope that he found grandma in heaven; and I’m sure as frick that he’s not going to hell. He’s definitely in heaven. 

To me, he was like a father, rather than a grandpa. He will be forever missed. I will love him till the end of time.

RIP Granpda. I will always love you.

Love,
  Erin

Joe was a wonderful man, such a caring soul he possessed. He made everyone around him feel important and treated  all like family. Joe came into my life because he fell in love with my mother. They where both so much fun to be around, always kept as laughing.  The first time I meet Joe was on our first visit to New York, he was a wonderful tour guide. We  wanted to see the entire city, he never once complained and took us everywhere we wanted to go. We kepted him out to the wee hours of the night.  I will always have a special place in my heart for him. I am a better person for having known him. My prayers are with his family, he so loved each and everyone of them. Richard and Randi, Thank you for sharing your Dad with us. May God lead you in this time of great sadness.
