OMG, just found out Doctor Joseph was gone. He was one of the best Drs ever. He cared about your health and told you straight forward what you had to do to get it right. He had a great sense of humor. Oh my, I was looking for him and this is what I found. Sorry for your loss. Great man and Doctor. ❤️❤️❤️

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dr. C. Joseph. I had the opportunity of working with Dr. Joseph when both of us were doctors at St. Joseph Hospital in Flint (House Staff 1972-1973)
Dr.  Marco Gamberini  M.D.

I just read about Dr Joe-he delivered two of my children-He was such a nice ,funny man-I seen him once in Kmart and he did not recognize me--when I seen him shortly after at his office-he said"I do not know any of my patients with their pants on---yep that was the BEST OBGYN ever  RIP and thankyou

I just heard Dr. Joe died. How heart breaking. He was in my life for 40 years. What a sense of humor and "tell it like it is" way. Wonderful Dr and friend. He will be greatly missed by so many people. God truely has a great angel now. See you in heaven Dr Joe.

I just found out about his passing. He was my doctor in the 70's when he practiced in davison. such a nice and caring man.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dr. C. Joseph. I had the opportunity of working with Dr. Joseph in Labor & Delivery at HMC. He was always very kind to me. So sorry to hear of his death. Losing our loved ones to death can be so hard, but it's the special memories that help us cope. It brings comfort to know also that God is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

Dr. Joseph was a wonderful mentor during medical school and residency.  He was a wonderful, energetic, and kind man.  Truly a class act.

I just found out that Dr Joseph passed. He was a wonderful doctor who really cared.  He delivered my daughters and one of my grand daughters. He will be missed.  Condolences to his family.

I just found out that he had passed. He was a spectacular doctor and we will miss him very much! I have been going to him since 1992 and recently my daughter (whom he delivered) became his patient. So sad, but he will never be forgotten. God Bless the Joseph family.
Sincerely,
Brenda & Bryton Tong

My prayers go out to the Joseph family. Dr. joseph delivered my son in 2009 and to this day was the most amazing physician I have ever had. Always made me laugh but also confident in the care I was receiving. He will be missed. A truly unique human.

So sorry to hear of Dr. Joseph passing.  Prayers to all the Joseph family that God will give you strength in the weeks ahead.  Straight forward with a unique sense of humor - always made people laugh.  I will miss that.  I worked with him on a professional level and will miss meeting with him.

My prayers and sincere condolences to the family. I'm thankful for the opportunities Dr.Joseph gave me.

I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Joseph on a personal and professional level and have such wonderful memories of him. He was always loving and kind and knew how to make anyone laugh. He will truly be missed.

Dr Joseph was the attending physician in 1973, during my miscarriage. I believe he was a resident at the time, and he was so kind. He also delivered several members of my family since then. I will always remember his sense of humor, as he would make women in labor laugh! Praying for his loved ones, during this time of deep sorrow.

DR.Joe will be missed by all my Dr. for 35 years so sorry to hear this

His smile and sense of humor is what I will miss at my office.

Dr. Joseph you will be missed. God truly will be getting another Angel. I will definitely miss all the advice that you always gave me. Thanks for being a great friend for 26 years. RIH

Helen, Reggie and Brian, We are so saddened to hear of Michael's passing and offer our sincere condolences to each of you. We have so many outstanding memories! With great affection, Julie Clark and Judy Clark

Dr. Joseph was a great physician! He delivered both my nieces 25 years ago and a great nephew 2 years ago. I will miss his laugh and his sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and co workers. Rest in Peace!

So sad to hear of Dr Joe's passing, Praying for the family and everyone who was so close to him in this tragic time.  What a truly amazing man he was not only as an obgyn but just as a human being. The love and care he had for every single one of his patients was astounding. He never sugar coated anything, and if you couldn't deal with that, well... I don't know what to say. He always looked out for his patients, and gave me plenty of talks, about my health, and just life in general. I know I will never find a physician that cares as much for his patients as Dr Joe. It sure is not going to be the same knowing I will never see that goofy smile he would give, or his crazy and hilarious sense of humour. I know your up there looking down on us all. May you finally rest!!   Fly High Dr Joe, till we meet again!!

Dr. Joseph will definitely missed.  He delivered me and my last 2 boys. Our visits were always full of laughter. I will miss his advice about life. See you in heaven Dr J.

What can you say about this man? Most people loved him because he never let what was important come in between saying what was wrong or right! So for some that might not equally mean love. But he always had you and or your child's best interest at heart. Me personally he was a great Dr. who honestly going through two high risk pregnancies could not have done it without him. Both of my boys are here and healthy thanks to this amazing man! Thank you God for the time you blessed us with such a fun, witty, caring and sweet man! God bless the family in this time of need. May The Lord be with you!

Dr.Joseph was a great educator with a welcoming spirit to everyone. Always willing to share his knowledge with patients, families, residents, nurses and especially students. Many lives have been enriched because of you. Thank you so much for sharing. Deepest condolences to your family. RIP

Dr Joe life will never be the same without you're smile and wonderful sense of humor. You always made our day with your visits. I was blessed to know you. Rest in peace but know you made such a difference in so many lives.

Dr Jo was a wonderful doctor and a devoted grandfather. So sad to hear of his passing and my prayers are with his wife and family at this difficult time.

Dr.J was an absolute saint. He delivered me as well as delivered my two girls. The care he gave to his patients was phenomenal and went above and beyond any physician I've ever known. I am very grateful for his words of wisdom, guidance and for the care he gave to me and my girls. His humor always made me laugh until I cried, and he will be truly missed.The world lost a great man, but Heaven gained a wonderful angel.

I knew Dr Joseph as a resident at Hurley Medical Center.  He often had a unique way of looking at cases, and taught us to think for ourselves and act with confidence.  I will never forget Dr Joe and his teaching.

He was a good doctor he was my obgyn doctor for 5 years. He will be truly missed I'm praying for his family. R.I.h

Dr. Joseph was a good teacher and human being.  His perspective on life was unlike anyone I have ever met.  You will be missed.  RIP

I am so sad to hear of Dr Joe's passing, he was a great Doctor and friend for the past 30 years. He saved the lives of my twin daughters and myself. I will miss him so very much.
