He died at Schlesinger's Nursing Home of arteriosclerotic heart failure. He was 90 years old.
Josh's wife, Mary, was very active in Beaumont civic and cultural activities. She was one of the organizers and past President of the Woman's Club of Beaumont.
She was a long time member of the Parent Teachers Association and held office on both local and state levels.
She was a two term board member of the Beaumont Independent School District during which time she established physical exams for students by a registered nurse on a regular basis. She was an honorary member of Delta Kappa Gamma, an Honorary Teachers Fraternity.
