"[...] Erest Jean Joseph made the honor, the glory and the joy of Haitians by his great quality and his talent which he put at the service of his country.

The Government thus intends to salute the memory of this great Haitian whom he considers as an example for the generation of today which so badly needs a model.

Once again, the Government bows before the remains of this valiant and talented sportsman, and takes the opportunity to offer its heartfelt condolences to the family of Ernest Jean-Joseph and to the great Haitian sports family."
