=======================================================</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">On 4/29/20 Tom Tuner reported : <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">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.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">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...</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">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.<br>

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