Interesting.

We really don’t know much about Joseph but he must have been a good man. It does sound reasonable that he had died but we really don’t know.

All the mysteries of the past could be revealed by someone who was there at the time. Nary a tweet is present.

St. Joseph ‘died in Nazareth, surrounded by Jesus and Mary.’

The best way to go. Here is a good prayer. Dear St. Joseph, ‘like alert father kindly keep us far from every taint of error and corruption.’

A life of service dedicated to God. A humble life, providing for his family. What a life story. What an inspiration.

An interesting article on Joseph.

Yes, it was.
I assume that St. Joseph had fulfilled his purpose on earth and thus was not mentioned again. Those missing years aren't essential to Jesus' life story but there's nothing wrong with speculating.
