Joe graduated from Bishop Kelly High School in 1967. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Oklahoma State University in 1972 and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma in 1974.
Joe worked for Applied Automation in Oklahoma. In 1978, Joe moved to Orange, Texas, and worked for DuPont for many years. He left there and became a Partner with EXIDA and also received his Certification as a CFSE (Certified Functional Safety Expert).
Joe grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spent many happy days as a young boy visiting his grandfather’s farm in Westmorland, Kansas, where his Uncle Julian and Aunt Barbara still live. He also made sure his grandchildren got to visit and experience his love of the farm and especially jumping off the big cliffs and playing in the creek. He also spent a lot of time at Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Oklahoma water skiing with his mom, dad, brothers and sisters. He also loved taking his grandkids on “The Great Adventures”.
Joe loved to grow roses, fish, quail hunting, extensive bike rides and going camping in the RV. His favorite thing to do was play golf. He could be found just about every day (except Monday when the course was closed) on the golf course playing with his buddies or practicing golf.
He will be deeply missed by all who loved him. Special thanks to Altus Hospice, his nurse, Maggie, the many home health providers and Ms. Cynthia.
Mr. Siebert’s cremation arrangements were handled through Broussard’s Crematorium under the direction of Broussard’s, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont.
Dear Jessica and Patricia, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father and husband. Jim and I were on a cruise and not aware of this sad event. I know his memory will give you peace in your sorrow.
Jessica & Adrianne, deepest heartfelt sympathies. I never met your Dad, but knowing the 2 of you, he was a good man. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
