Larry Joseph, 58, of Prospect died Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2005, at his home following a three-and-a-half year battle with cancer.
He retired two and a half years ago from the North Union Schools where he taught art for 30 years. He was also for the last 26 years a very talented woodworker, spending many hours making treasures for many people. He was a 1966 graduate of Elgin High School and graduated from Salem College in Salem, W.Va. He also attended Ohio Northern University and the Ohio State University. He played football and baseball in high school and football in college. He served in the National Guard for six
years and was a member of the Prospect United Methodist Church.
He was an inspiration to many of his former students for his determination and for many, it led to a career in art or teaching or both. One of his greatest accomplishments, along with his wife, was his vision and reality of Chapel Hill House, a retreat near Morral for families who are dealing with a child who has cancer. He will be missed.
He was a loving son, husband, father, grandfather and teacher.
He was born Sept. 15, 1946, in Pikeville, Ky., to Arnold and Marie Leslie Joseph and they survive in Prospect. He is also survived by his wife, Annie Wasserbeck Joseph whom he married Aug. 9, 1970, in Green Camp; a son, Jason Joseph and his fiancee Jennie Jones of Galloway; a grandson, Andrew Joseph; a sister, Betty (Jerry) Remlinger of Prospect; his mother-in-law, Norma Wasserbeck; two nephews, Shon (Sheila) Remlinger and Brad (Tara) Gilbert; and a niece, Tasha Fetherolf.
