Although he was a quiet and good guy, Joseph stood out among his friends and was very fond of them. He would carry out the tasks assigned to him with clear thought and complete perfection. In a personal conversation, I asked if he would like to remain in the unit in training positions, and he refused, saying that he wanted to be an officer in the IDF, in the corps in which his father served and be like him. He aspired to join the fighters on the lines and to fulfill his duty. ” His friends in the Neveh Tzahal neighborhood held a booklet in his memory called “Yossi” and a monument was erected in his memory and in memory of the soldiers who fell in the high school.
