Joseph was born Jan. 2, 1938, in Fort Worth. He was one of three children born to Joseph and Sadie Mae Nesbit and was a lifetime resident. Shortly after his mother's death, when he was 10, he befriended local merchants for food and work to care for himself and his three-year-old sister. From that time, on he diligently worked and faced the challenges of an adult.
As a teenager, he would care for his ailing father, all the while giving the attention of a parent to his sister. He became her father figure and unfailing confidant. His commitment to his family was unending and he quietly and unselfishly helped relatives and friends all his life.
He retired from Lockheed Martin as a flight-line electrician this past April, after 40 years of service.
He will be missed by his family and close friends and will be forever kept in the quiet places of their hearts. Most certainly, he will be fondly remembered by his little sister as her unshakable support and always faithful brother.
Joseph was preceded in death by parents; and one brother, Gregory.
Survivors: Sisters, Janice Record and husband, Harry; niece, April Fuller and husband, Monte and their daughter, Kinsey; nephew, Mark Record and his children, Lauren, Lucas and John Michael.
