Joel was a great man and a better friend. I was lucky enough to have known Joel for 35 years. We were both Ham Radio operators and spoke almost daily on the radio. His incredible sense of humor along with his wisdom and kindness to anyone in need will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace my friend.

Mary, my condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. I remember working with Joel at Dialogic/Intel. Joel was great to work with and always had time for a good laugh. It was like having a second family at work. I was fortunate to work with some great people at Dialogic and Joel was one of the best!
God rest my friend.
