Allen Louis JOSEPH

JOSEPH, Allen Louis May 29, 1919-Nov. 30, 2012 Minneapolis, MN - Mission Viejo, CA Allen Louis Joseph was a dear cousin, warm and witty friend, talented actor and playwright, and a very devoted husband. The secret to his 60 year loving marriage to Teresa was humor, he said, which he demonstrated daily. When she developed Altzheimers, his constant caretaking reflected his deep love for her. In his professional career, Mr. Joseph had the pleasure to act with Robert DeNiro in "Raging Bull", Dustin Hoffman in "Marathon Man", and in 40 other movies and TV shows. Mr. Joseph's original plays were produced in New York City, Washington, DC, and Los Aneles, CA. His greatest gift was his sharp wit and natural ability to make people laugh, and think. He was a small statured man with a huge capacity for life! Mr. Joseph is survived by cousins Alice Botte Kufel, Antonia Botte Jirovsky, Theodore Barbone, John Barbone, Anita Barbone, and numerous children and grandchildren. Burial is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 at 11 a.m., at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Mortuary, 1218 Glendon Ave, Los Angeles, CA.
