He served as father of the boy from birth to death.
Are you suggesting that Joseph was still alive when Jesus was crucified? If you answered this already on the previous thread, please ignore. I'm posting my comments here as I read through Thread 151.

Good catch. I don't think the death of Joseph is covered in Scripture (though I will be corrected instantly if i'm wrong), though the assignment of Mary to the disciple John seems to indicate her lack of a male "head of household."
Or I could weasel out of it and say I meant from Jesus' birth to Joseph's death.
