Man I typed Joel's name in to see if I could find him and I get his obituary. We were racing buddy's and pretty inseparable for years. I helped him move to Elsinore. Can't believe he is gone.
Stay on the throttle my friend.

Joel: I met you only a few times at karaoke when I was in town but your joyous spirit and dancing made a lasting impression. I remember walking and talking with you on our way home from the bar. I was SO sad when I heard you had passed. I know you are resting in peace in heaven. -David

You are always in my thoughts and especially moreso this weekend. I love you dearly, still, and this is how I will always remember you~happy on the lake.
If you were here on earth with us now, I know you'd be right on the lake, the place you loved so much, the place where you were the happiest.

Keep watching over your mama and the rest of the family. Love, Kat

Hey Bro. I can't believe it's already been two years since you left us. I have been thinking a lot about you lately just out of the blue.... I often think about what you would say or do in some of the experiences I have had in my day to day life lately and it always leaves me with a smile on my face because I know what you would say! Frick it is one of my all time favorites! And I often think of you when I hear the songs that you & I both loved, "I'll stop the world and melt with you" by Modern English or "runnin' down a dream" by Tom Petty. Oh the memories my Brother, I miss you so. I love you. RIP Bro! Love Sher

Dear Joel,
Thank you for sharing your love and the love of your family with me. It's hard to believe that you said goodbye to us a year ago. I love and miss you so much~I long to hear your voice, to see your face, your smile, and to feel your touch. I miss your arms around me. I miss our good times together, singing and dancing. I miss your boots, you know, the ones with the worn out soles. And, I miss your board shorts, and your bare feet. I miss you and all that you were to me, the Love of my Life.
When it rains, Joel, I know you are dancing on the clouds. When it's sunny and warm, I know you are embracing all of us who love you. And, when we are sad because you are no longer with us, I know it's you appearing as an angel on the wings of doves to let all of us know you are watching over us. Please keep that vigil over your sweet mom, your sisters, your brother, your sons, and grandson, and all of us who still hold you in our hearts. I long for you and the day I will see you again, Joel. Until then...
~Rest in Peace~
~Love You Forever~

Thank you for letting me know that you knew I was there. I love and miss you and Bruce so much. God bless you both and all of our loved ones who have left us. I love you!! Mom

Dear Joel,
I believe everything happens for a reason, and that whatever happens is God's will. The fact that God brought you into my life is a testament to that. To know that you are finally at peace and no longer in pain brings me solace. The love and comfort I have received from your family and friends is immeasurable. Thank you, Joel, for touching my life in such a way that no one else has, or ever will. You truly are the love of my life. I look forward to the day that we will meet again. Until that time...
~Rest in Peace~

You broughtus all together as only you could do. I love and miss you, Joel. Thank you, again, for touching my life in such a way that on one else has, or ever will.

Hello my sons. I don't know how you perform the miracles you do. The doves, phone call and putting tear drops all over the fresh roses that Sheri brought to you. The doves that flew over and the seagulls also. The many friends who joined us at your birthday memorial. You were so loved by everything and everyone.I feel that you and Bruce are watching over us and protecting us and giving us signs that you both are here with us always. You give me strength to carry on, because we love you and miss you and your brother so much. You will always be in our hearts. R.I.P. both of you. Keep giving me reminders, please. I need them to warm my heart.
Love, Mom

Happy Birthday, Joel. Surely you know how much you were and are loved by everyone in your family and all of your friends. We celebrated your birthday with you in Elsinore and toasted to you and your amazing life. Thank you, Joel, for opening your arms and your heart to me; and I thank God for bringing you into my life. I will always remember the first time I saw you, and I will never forget the night we met. Your enthusiasm for life was contagious; your smile~compelling; and your heart~compassionate. You loved me with intensity and passion, tempered with gentleness and generosity of heart. I miss you, and I will always love you. Happy Birthday to the most awesome and unique individual I have ever been blessed to know and to love. You are always on my mind and forever you will be in my heart. I love you.

Joel, you gave me so many enjoyable moments dancing at Oharas it was so fun I was surprised I could keep up with you and you adapted to my craziness of swing and cowboy. Use to get in trouble cuz I'd dance between pool games but it was just to much fun not too. I know you will continue to kick heels in heaven just remember to give us a break from the down pours of your dancing soul pounding on the rain clouds. Rest in peace and to your beautiful family and Carol I know your spirit lives on and you presence although missed will forever remain alive.

and oh my if that lake could talk!!!
You & Richard were hilarious on the dance floor together each doing your
unique dance...all the kids mimicking
your "chesse and rice" saying..there's so many memories...we will miss you terribly! Our hearts really, really hurt right now and we want you to know we will never ever forget you in our hearts or minds..

Marcia and I were fortunate to be two of your friends and you our friend. Even though it was only 5 years it seemed like we were friends forever.

Dear friend..
I will always and forever remember you. When I walk past your place, it tugs on my heart to know I will not smell your aftershave even before I turn the corner, knowing you would be sitting in your chair outside your coach with either a nod or a salute and always that grin to me as I walked by on a beautiful lake morning. For that, I will now cherish.
I know your in a better place, but my friend know you are greatly missed and as the song says.."Gone to Soon."
We will see you in heaven my friend.
Love

Oh my Brother Joel, I am missing you so much, but I do know that you are in a much better place and are now happy & free as you have showed all of the family a few days ago by showing your presence of a beautiful white dove. We have never seen a white dove anywhere near our house in Huntington Beach, but you changed that and showed up on Rick's truck. You made your presence known by sitting there on a roof top staring at us all, wow, what a great peace you brought to us all, we now know that you are happy and free. I love you my Brother and I am missing you greatly. Sheri
