So sorry to know Joel is gone. We became friends at Otterbein UM Church in the 4th grade. He went to Randolph and I went to Roosevelt. After high school we lost touch but I always wondered about him; he was someone you could not forget.

I was so sorry to hear about your Dad´s passing. I knew him back in the 80s working at the bank where your Dad used to come in to do his banking. He would always stop and chat. Such a wonderful and generous man.
