Not sure what to say?

There are persons you never forget even after many years. We met Joel at the Club Med in Moorea at New Year 1975/76. We were on a world trip and we promised to meet again. We visited him in 1980 when we met Leah and loved his hospitality and yes I remember the yellow Jag. I saw him again in 1981 but then the distance of LA and Europe took its toll.

We are so saddened to hear about Joel. We loved him, and I loved working with him when I was a hygienist. We met when we were all still in college at USC Dental School. Our hearts go out to all of you.It was an honor and a privilege to know him. Sending hugs.

May you find comfort in remembering the times you shared with your Joel. May the God of tender mercies bring you comfort as well, in your time of great loss

Sarah, So sorry to hear of Joel's passing. Although I have been out of LA for a while, I always enjoyed running into Joel. Always a smile and so many memories of skiing together. My deepest condolences.

Dr. Piehl was an incredibly kind gentleman. I was a patient of his for many years, and enjoyed his sense of humor, and his incredible talent as a dentist. My condolences to his family. Robert Nelson
