It Hurt The Actor As Well
You must be curious to see what Jerry Lewis had to say about this. In 2004, the comedian decided to share details of their family life with The Hollywood Reporter. It was an emotional chat in which he seemed upset by what had transpired. For one thing, he said that the death of Joseph truly hurt him.
He Was Still His Son
“To this day, I don’t understand [Joseph’s passing] because it’s unfair. Not unfair to me, but unfair to [Joseph]. That he went that way made the unfairness stupidity,” he said. “But he was my son, and he’s gone, and there’s not a lot I can do about that. I beat myself a thousand times.”
