Joseph Allan Hurst passed away peacefully Monday after a short illness. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, but has lived in Benicia, CA for the last sixty-two years. Allan joined the Navy at seventeen years old and proudly served his country for four years, during which time he met his wife Nina. He then became a Machinist Apprentice at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. During his career there, he would advance to a Nuclear Inspector, then a General Forman, and finally he was promoted to a Nuclear Director. Due to his hardworking ethics he received many awards for his contributions and achievements.

He used his leisure time developing his talents in painting, wood carving, and gardening. His most beloved past time however, was enjoying the company of his family especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He and his wife also traveled.
