Not sure what to say?

Always remember Joel from my childhood, when we would come visit My grandparents he was always one that would make me laugh and feel comfortable. I will always remember him letting me sit in his judge chair and bang the gavel. Truly a bright soul in this world.. RIP Joel..

Joel was my friend for 48 years and I never saw him when he didn´t have a smile and a kind word. He will be greatly missed. RIP my friend.

Sending my condolences to the Holley family. I will miss going into the courtroom and seeing Mr. Joel's smiling face. RIP Mr. Joel.

I can truly say that he was indeed my best friend for many years. We went to school together and then had many fond adventurers in this thing called life. Prayers and condolences to Linda and family.

Joel was a very dear double cousin (Hammock and Orrick). Our prayers are with all of the family!

See you later cuz.

Heavenly Father, pleas grant strength to this Family of Believers to endure the days and weeks ahead until, by Your Grace, their pain is transformed from grief to lasting memories that will last forever. Family, please take solace in the Blessed Assurance that Joel is safe and secure in the Loving Arms of our Savior, free from worry or pain. You will see him again in Paradise.

Was in his first wedding as the Ring -bearer. My 2nd cousin followed my son's travelball career as a big fan. Gonna miss our text chats in the recent years.

Joel Holley was a good friend and mentor to me. I have nothing but good memories of my time in history with him. He inspired me to better myself and I was fortunate enough to be able to thank him recently. He will be missed.
