My thoughts and condolences 💐 to your whole family. Your Dad touched so many lives and left a lasting impression for so many. He lived his best life; if only we all could emulate that. So sorry for your losses.

Dr. Joe was a kind, compassionate, friendly guy who was successful at everything he tried. He was always smiling, always had something uplifting to say and I am devastated to hear about his death.

Dr. Yomtoob had a profoundly good influence on my children and their career paths as their high school math teacher. I wish to express my deep gratitude for his educating my children with much kindness, professionalism and expertise. He took an interest in helping my family, as was in his nature, and we became good family-friends over the years. I will always remember him for his generosity and concern for the welfare of others. His investment in my children and in his students has had a positive ripple effect and for this, we can all celebrate a life well-lived. Our love and heartfelt condolences go out to the Yomtoob family.

Our friendship began at a bridge table for a group of newcomers in Niles Michigan over 50 years ago. That friendship only grew during the growing years with our children, and as we also “grew” too. As they moved on during the years we never lost touch.
One time during a visit they stayed with us. Many laughs were shared and a few tears. My husband, William even found turkey “bacon” for breakfast.
Rest in peace Joe. Perri find peace with your family and all the good memories .
Prayers to family and all who were touched and blessed with them and their family.

Dr. Yomtoob always had a smile for the students at Willow Run. You would hear his laughter in the halls and knew he was near. I remember him marching with us in the 4th of July parade representing the Willow Run High School’s marching band thru downtown Ypsilanti like a father proud of his children. He only had to ask your name once and never forgot it. Godspeed Dr. Yomtoob. Praying for your family during this difficult time.

I remember meeting Dr. Yomtoob, when I was in high school and he congratulated me for coming to school, everyday! I was so blessed to have known him, and his daughter. He was more than just a mentor, he was also an inspiration to each other and to the community, as well as his family. There’s not another one like him. May he #RIP!

He was a kind giving human being. Looking back I remember his kindness at the time that my life was complicated. He helped me to move forward. He remains my friend for the rest of my lie. The connection will never be forgotten.

Joe Yomtoob was my dear friend.
Together we traveled the road of life for40+ years.
Joe was a special person. You just had to be around him to know it.
Now that he is gone I find myself asking Why? What made him so Joe?
Fo me ,it was not his success or position.
Instead it was his character.
Joe Yomtoob was caring,loving,ethical man.
He loved and honored his God
He loved and honored his family
He loved and honored those whose lives he touched
This is his legacy!
His was a Life Well lived
I will miss him more than words can tell
