My Dear Jo, I count myself as one of the lucky people whose life has been touched by you. I feel so very proud to call you my friend; yours is a friendship I will cherish and carry as a precious gift in my heart for an eternity. Many things I have learned from you, but the one that resonates the most is "live life to the fullest, make every moment count." Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life & share in some of those moments. Thank you for the family time I spent with your wonderful children, for they are a reflection of you. I can smile at recognizing the Jo in each one of them. :) To Jo's children: JP, Jean-Marc, Natalie, Jean-Christophe, Jeremy, and Jordana My grandmother, who was very dear to me, left a letter for each one of her family members after losing a very long battle with cancer, enclosed in our letter was a copy of a poem, which I carry with me always. I think it sums up what Jo would have liked to say. Fill not your hearts with sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone to rest a little while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand, in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you. With heartfelt love and sympathy, Angela

My dear friend Jo. A chance seating, a few words, a lifelong bond created. Each year, for a few precious late summer days, I came to appreciate you more. Your chesed. Your charm. Your graciousness, generosity and grace. What a delightfully wry sense of humor. What an unquenchable joie de vivre. Your care for others came from deep in your heart. Your honesty was rare and unquestionable. How I will miss you. Even today, as Federer goes on to win in France, I hear you. Fe-derrr-rerrr. But my sadness and pain cannot be measured against the immeasurable sorrow of your children and your ever-faithful companion. So with blessings and prayers for your peaceful passage, I send blessings and prayers for your loved ones to pass through the days, the month and the year in the embrace of G-d. Goodbye, Jo.

What can I say about Jo…. Probably nothing you don’t already know… To me he was not only the best boss I ever had but a father figure (as my own Pop is only 3 yrs older), friend and truly a gentle and kind soul. Jo was truly special and will always have a special place in my heart as well as in hearts of my family. I was blessed to know this great man and I do mean great man. He was a loving soul that only wanted to help, keep safe and protect all those around him. Jo’s laughter and love could always be felt as well as disappointment when and if you crossed over to that side however; I would like to think that in the years I have had the honor of knowing this great man that I did not disappoint him much. I have learned a lot from him and have tried to always say to myself what would Jo do or say in a moment like this….. a few phrases always come to mind….. 1.Jo would always say “write what you want but put it in the bottom drawer and revisit it later when you are calm and have a chance to think clearly before you send it anywhere.” 2. One of the first things that he said that I will always remember was… “Cemetery’s are filled with people who thought they were irreplaceable” granted that has more then one meaning however, when it comes to Jo the quote is wrong as he is irreplaceable but I know it is now incumbent upon us all to carry on and incorporate part of him in to our lives so he lives on through us. Jo’s laughter and stories of his life will always be fixed into my mind and not a day goes by when I do not say, think or do something that was a Jo-ism. Whenever I would leave the house at 6:15 or so and head for the city I would always think; gee will I see Jo on my drive as he always had to on the road before the traffic so, as he would put it, could go full speed without delay. At this point all I can think to do in honoring this man is to continue to make who he was a part of who I am and always question what would Jo do. JP, JM, Natalie, JC, Jeremy & Jordana – My condolences to you all during this time, your loss is felt and your father will never be forgotten. Our love and thoughts are with you all. Rick, Abby, Mike & Sarah Satel

Please Accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of Mr. Joseph Behar. My family will never be able to thank him enough for sharing his knowledge, love and talents with us. Mr. Behar´s memory will be eternal in our hearts and minds. Even though I am hard at expressing my deep feelings I truly loved him as a father. He taught us to live with generosity, to appreciate details that make us remember the important things in life. My heart was touched and will never be the same after meeting such a dedicated and wonderfull human being. We will never forget you, you will always live in my mind Sir....Dad. My deepest condolences to JP, Jeremy (Which your father talked so much about you), Jordanna, and to all the Behar Family which I had never had the chance to meet, but heard wonderfull things from your father. Remember that eventhough not biological you have a family member in Mexico that shares the same love and kind thoughts about an excellent man which Mr. Jo Behar was to all of us. We´ll meet again sir, in the mean time, I´ll carry you in my heart and follow your guidelines. You are an example to follow. Tony Lopez & Family.

I am pained to hear of Jo's passing. Jo, you were an incredible friend--kind, warm, and so generous. I will always be in awe of your love for life, and mine will be a little dimmer without you in it. My thoughts are with everyone who was fortunate enough to know Jo.
