Obituary for Joseph A. Jean-Pierre
Joseph Andre Jean-Pierre, 89, of Croix-Des-Bouquets, Haiti, passed away on December 5th
, 2024. Joseph was born on
August 29, 1935 to Victoire (Mirville) and Telesfor Jean-Pierre in Croix-Des-Bouquets, Haiti. After Joseph graduated from
Lycée Toussaint Louverture, he went on to become a licensed electrician at Ecole Professionelle JB Damier. He later
migrated to the United States where he settled in New York City. He would eventually proudly work for New York-based
Chromalloy Research and Technology for 24 years before retiring in 2002.
Joseph’s favorite activities were: caring for his family, taking road trips to spoil his grandchildren and visit relatives,
watching his favorite basketball and soccer teams play (Orlando Magic and Germany’s national football team), and
following his favorite players wherever they were (T-Mack, D-Wade, LeBron). Joseph also enjoyed attending church,
taking excursions with his loving wife, Micheline Jean-Pierre, and attending sports games and stage performances by his
grandchildren. Among his fondest memories are the many weekend trips from Queens to Brooklyn, Long Island, Upstate
New York, and Montreal, Canada to visit life-long friends and extended family members. Joseph was committed to
staying in touch and caring for family and friends; in retirement, his circle of love was the focus of his activities. And he
was always super proud of his long Christmas card list!
Joseph was also a dedicated family man and life-long provider. In 1968, Joseph and Micheline were married in Croix-Des-
Bouquets, Haiti. They eventually relocated to New York City in 1971 and enjoyed 56 years of marriage right through
retirement together in Oviedo, FL. Joseph remained devoted to his wife and three children: Danielle, Pascale and Jardel.
That devotion included taking on various entrepreneurial projects to make certain his family had a safe place to call home
and were well cared for.
Joseph was predeceased by his parents Telesfor and Victoire (Mirville) Jean-Pierre, his siblings: Odette Jean-Pierre, Vital
Jean-Pierre, and Ifonia (Jean-Pierre) Riche and his nephew Jean Riche. He is also preceded by lifelong loved ones who
remained dear to him until the end: Jean and Marguerite Mirville, Fritz and Yolene Sully, Charles Vaval, and Felix
Guerrier.
He is survived by his spouse Micheline (Donat) Jean-Pierre, his sister Carmen (Jean-Pierre) Jean-Poix, his children
Danielle Jean-Pierre, Pascale Alcindor (Marcelin Alcindor), and Jardel Jean-Pierre (Tiyia Jean-Pierre), his grandchildren:
Ricardo Rincher (Adriana Quiroz), Jonathan Lacroix (Janae Robb), Daniel Cantave, Darnel Alcindor, Jolin Alcindor,
Stefann Alcindor, Aaron Jean-Pierre, and Amara Jean-Pierre and his great grand-child, Aliyah Rincher. His nephews
include: Nobel Jean-Pierre, James Jean-Pierre, Gadner Jean-Pierre, Claudel Jean-Pierre, Rigot Jean-Pierre, Hardy Riche,
Romel Riche, Franklin Riche, Joubert Riche, and Castro Jean-Poix. His nieces include: Violette (Jean-Poix) Laveau, Wille-
Mirlande Jean-Pierre, Gabrielle (Riche) Pierrot, Suzie (Riche) Bellande, and Carline (Riche) Joseph.
Beyond his extended family, Joseph had a huge circle of love, including nieces and nephews through marriage, dear
friends, and caregivers who showed him abundant compassion and love; many lifting his spirits as his body weakened.
