Hello Joe,
Happy Heavenly Birthday big brother ! I missed you terribly!

Hello Joe,
I know by now you have reunited with Eric and Laure and that the three mousquetaires has been reorganized to form an angelic choir to celebrate your 80th birthday today. You’re missed so much and it hurts but we took comfort knowing you’re no longer suffering those long and endless lonely nights.
Again Happy Birthday big brother!

Dear Joe,
This is just to wish you a Happy 79th Birthday brother! Eric and l have been talking about for the last few days and that tells me how much he misses you and we are all do In this case, we concluded by saying you probably serenaded with the angels in heavens. Again Happy Birthday and we missed you very much!

We were looking at the collage of pictures where 3 of Joe's grand nieces and nephews put "Hi Uncle Joe" on pieces of paper. Happy Birthday Joe. We love and miss you. RIP

Joe,
I am at work and was thinking about you while listening to one of your favorite performer Miguel Aceves Mejia and Antonio Aguilar that prompted me to get on the site and live you this note to let you know how much you are missed and how grateful we are for you to be part of our lives. With lots of love! Raynald,

I was remembering Joe on the 2nd anniversary of his passing. I talked with Vierge and Serge about the good times I had with him. Vierge went to mass on the anniversary and his birthday to pray for his soul.

Erick

Dear Joe,
Today would have been your 76th birthday! Happy birthday big brother !
When l woke up this morning, l just can't take you of my mind. I remember all the jokes and the teases , the good and the bad mostly the goods with lots of laughter. But my favorite one was that day you were taking me to school and you were crossing the James River Bridge at 75 miles an hour and you got pulled over. The cop asking you why you are driving so fast? And you responded, officer l am trying to make it to the hospital on time as one of my patient is giving birth and l am trying to make it to delivery room on time for the birth of the child. After giving him your license and your badge! He let you go without a fine and we laughed all the way to school. It was fun! I missed so much!

Éloge Funèbre de Joseph David
Jean Eddy Guilloteau
9 mai 2013
Il y a 24 ans, le 19 mars 1989, Joe avait invité certains d’entre nous à venir à Hampton célébrer avec lui ses cinquante ans. Il nous avait bercés, ce soir-là, de sa proverbiale guitare et de sa flûte magique. Il avait dansé et nous avait fait danser au rythme de la musique cubaine, qu’il prisait tant, avec La Sonora Matancera,

I've known Clara since we were MCH freshman. It seems so long ago. When we first met and throughout the years Clara has always been one to value her close connections with friends and family. I've never met Joe, but he was very special to Clara. I am so happy that she got to spend so much time with him. I think Joe was able to find peace in the fact that Clara loved him so much. Peace

Mon cher Joe,
je voudrais te dire que ce n'est qu'un au revoir et te demander de prier pour nous et surtout pour ta famille afin que le Tout Puissant nous accorde la serenite et la fortitude dont nous avons besoin en ce moment douloloureux. Je vous aime beaucoup Joe.

I have known your daughter, Clara, since she was a Freshman in college, with me. Through the decades, and my many many conversations with Clara, it was clear how much she cared for, loved, and admired you. How proud you must have been of her! She will miss you terribly.

I am remembering two of our best performances with the Orq. Cayari, we performed at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Va. The concert featured both Paquito Guzman and "El Sonero Del Pueblo" Marvin Santiago. Your love for music was truly amazing and inspired me to be a better musician as well.

Dear Joe
Your deep knowledge of all the facts will always be part of any serious discussion .May God bless you and give all the required strength to Marie Claude and the entire family

Que le concert des anges t'accompagne dans to sommeil.

Que son ame repose en paix ..Cette nouvelle nous parvient dans la plus grande consternation car Joe a toujours ete une lumiere et une eclaircie dans notre laborieuse vie estudiantine et professionelle.

Dear Joe,
I thank you for all the time that we spent together and the memories that we share. If the good care your devoted wife administered to you could have prevented you from leaving those who love you, you would still be here. But God called you home. You will be missed. I love you brother. Rest in peace.

Bro David,
I met Dr. David in the mid 80's when Orq. Cayari was originated and we played together for 7 years touring the East Coast. You were a great musician as well as a great person who impacted my life both musically and spiritually. I will miss our music sessions at your house. May peace and blessings forever be upon you and your family.

Dear Joe,
When we think of "Joe", we can't help smiling at the sight of a happy-go-lucky human being, full of life, determination and kindness, and of Marie-Claude, your devoted, loving wife whom we dearly love and consider an inspiration. May you rest in peace.
Evelyn and Jacques St.Julien
