Not sure what to say?

I knew Joel professionally; we met about 5 years ago. I build homes so about twice a year I'd bring him assortment of chisels, circular saw blades, pocket knives and whatever else needed a razor's edge put back on it.

All I can say is this guy was a true and honest gentleman. I always enjoyed visiting him and having a great conversation. Joel you will be missed! May GOD be with you and your family always.

To the family,
I am sorry to hear about your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted " and "comforts all who mourn " sustain your family during this most challenging and difficult time.
Isaiah 61:1,2

On behalf of the Upstaging fabrication department, I would like to send our sincere condolences to the Baker family. I met Joel close to twelve years ago and chatted with him almost every Friday for 20 minutes or so. All to often we would talk about our weekend plans and our families. He would always talk of his kids and how well they we're doing in college. He was always a very proud father. He will be very missed...

I'm saddened to read of Joel's passing. My deepest condolences to all of his family and friends. I have had great pleasure of doing business with him through his saw shop. You will not meet a nicer man. I'll miss him. Best wishes.

Joel was tthe most kind and compassionate person I've ever known. He will be missed by all who knew him. R.I.P. dear brother in law.
