JOSEPH ALI DOW (1940-2026)

Joseph A. Dow, age 85, passed away Thursday, February 5 at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City. Joseph was born March 17, 1940 in the city of Latakia, Syria to Ali and Zaynab Dow. He immigrated to the gulf coast of the United States when he was 25, where a few years later he met his wife and lifelong partner, Marjorie Havard Dow.

Joseph graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering. His true passion was, however, history. He was an accomplished numismatic scholar, lifetime member of the American Numismatic Association, and published author on biblical coins.

He loved his friends and family deeply and cared greatly for his community. He served as treasurer on his neighborhood homeowners association and led a Bible study group at his church. Joseph was a devoted husband and adoring father. His warmth, selflessness, and care left its mark on everyone who knew him.
