Joseph F. Cusworth Jr.

Joe was born on January 18, 1938 in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he developed his love for the ocean and passion for scuba diving. He was an avid fisherman, and if he wasn’t on the water, he was under it, having dived many locations from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean, and every place in between. He enjoyed photography and took many underwater pictures. He served 4 years in the United States Army as a Paratrooper in the highly decorated 82nd Airborne Division.

Joe was a longtime member of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing. As a professional tester at QC Laboratories in Florida, he worked on special projects at NASA. He moved to Houston, Texas in 1971 and worked for Southwestern Laboratories. In 2013, he retired from Metco-Projects Inc.
