Joseph Nodal

February 24, 1927 - October 25, 2012

Joseph "Joe" Nodal age 85 was called home to be with the Lord Jesus on October 25, 2012. He passed peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Josie, and five children: Rita, Dolores, Colleen, Stephen and Conrad. He was preceded in death by his son Joseph Micheal Nodal, Jr. He was born on February 24, 1927 in Prescott and graduated from Prescott High. He joined the Navy, served our country for 8 years and then attended Arizona State. He returned to Prescott, married Josie and worked at the Iron King mine until they relocated to Southern CA in the early 1960's. He retired and returned to Prescott in 1985 after a long career as a foreman at Bliss Laughlin Steel. Upon returning to Prescott in 1985 he was unsettled with retirement and took a job with the Arizona Pioneer Home until he retired a second time in 1994. He spent his remaining years gardening, shopping, solving crossword puzzles, sudoku and taking local scenic drives (his most favorite activity.) A memorial in his honor is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, October 29, 2012 at Alliance Bible Church, 2601 Iron Springs Rd., Prescott Az. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice Family Care Prescott at 928 541-1740.
