Joel Margules

Joel was a good friend of mine in high school. In fact, if it wasn't for Joel, I would have been dead at an early age. A bunch of us drove to Long Lake, MN to go fishing. One afternoon, Joel and I decided to walk around the lake, a six-pack of Grain Belt Beer in hand. After being attacked by leeches, Joel and I decided to swim across the lake trying to get to an island in the middle of the lake to rest. The more we swam, the island didn't get any closer. The tide came in, I swallowed water,...

Joel was a great man. I always enjoyed my conversations with him and know that he will be greatly missed.

Joel was a great friend to me in college and my husband had the opportunity of spending time with him in Michigan and on a visit we took to Florida. Joel will be missed by many. Libby and Mark Lavine

What a lovely and accurate obituary! Working on the other side of the courtroom (State Attorney's Office) with Joel was a real pleasure. He taught me as a young attorney, less about the law itself, but more about what it means to be a decent attorney and a decent human being. He always took time with his clients, never judged them, and did his best. That is exactly how the system is supposed to work. The world is better for having him in it.
