He was born on Feb. 6, 1945, in Tellico Plains, Tn. to the late Ethel Lynn and Jordan Prock Sr. Joseph was a veteran of the US Army where he served during the Vietnam War. He was a very hardworking man that took much pride in the job he did. He was a loyal employee at Cleveland Chair/Jackson Manufacturing for 50+ years.
