=======================================================
On 4/29/20 Tom Tuner reported :
Joe H. Parsons of Morgan City passed away Tuesday, April 28th.  I 
believe he worked in the plastics and rubber manufacturing shops, he was 
shown as section 621 in my 1982 and 1990 Thiokol phone books.  His 
nephew Andy Parsons, who works with me at the Propulsion Lab, informed 
me yesterday that Joe had just passed, and that Joe worked on making the 
Patriot nozzles.  He is not listed on Al.com at this time.

And, Cec replied with CCs to our HDAA list: 'Sure sorry to hear that, 
Tom! Yes, Joe was a very valuable member of a great Plastics Shop team 
that built lots of fine Patriot nozzles and many others. He had TC #1363 
and is in our full range of HD phone-books, from 1959 to 1995. 
Condolences and best wishes to Andy and their family! More later...

Thanks to David Parsons and Mike Meagher for providing Joe's obituary as 
included above. Our sympathy goes to David and his family in the loss of 
his father and our friend from 25+ year ago.

Mike,
Hopefully I have the correct Mike here. I think you worked with my dad
back in the late 80s. (that sounds like a long time ago to say that!) DP
