Joe was born on March 4, 1936 in Austin Texas, Breckenridge Hospital. In 1954 he joined the Texas National Guard, and later went into active service in the Army as MP in the Military Police Division. He actively served in the military services for 31 and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In 1961 Joe met Norma, the love of his life and as of December 9, 2011 they were married 50 years. Joe and Norma’s children included Annette Du-Pre, Jolline, and Joseph Jr.
Joe was preceded in death by daughter Annette Du-Pre, his parents, Albert and Helen Rosentritt, and sisters, Annette Rosentritt, Betty Jean Swoda.
He is survived by his wife Norma, daughter Jolline Darus and husband Chris, and son Joseph Rosentritt Jr.
Joe graduated from McCallum High School in Austin; after attending several colleges including the University of Texas, he graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College with a degree in teaching. Joe taught school briefly then began his career in the insurance industry. He worked for the Insurance Company of North America/CIGNA, and after retirement of 29 years, he was an insurance consultant and worked as Catastrophe Manager for the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
Joe was well respected for his knowledge of the insurance industry, and for his knowledge of life itself.
He was a modest man with strong faith; Joe served his life as a Christian and was active in the Lutheran Church. His faith and honesty was an everyday part of his life. He loved sports, hunting, and fishing… and just enjoyed God’s nature.
He will be greatly missed because of the examples he set of life in general, and his dry sense of humor.
