Joseph Milton Glasco - Artist (1925-1996)


Joseph Milton Glasco or "Joe," was my dad's second cousin. Born 19 Jan 1925, died 31 May 1996. I don't think he was ever married. Some said he served in the Army during WWII, but I found no record of that. His father was Lowell Marion Glasco, an oil tycoon in Texas. Joe came from a very wealthy family and so was able to pursue the arts most of his life. Many of his works have survived and are in display at various well-known museums, and various art collectors have them up for sale. You can google his name and find out more about his works.
