It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph Hayeems, peacefully at home on September 1, 2026, at the age of 92. Joseph, the beloved husband of the late Esther (Levit) Hayeems, father of Karen and Eran (Robin), and Saba to Al, Kate, Jack, and Mia, will be deeply missed. As one of 15 siblings, he is also survived by his sisters Lily, Margaret, and Naomi. We are thankful for the excellent care that he received at home from our special and attentive caregivers. Joseph will be fondly remembered for his exceptional patience, generosity, selflessness, and deep affection for his grandchildren.
