Oh Kay, we just learned of Joel's death, and are so sorry! We don't see you often, but always are met with a warm greeting whenever we do run into you both! Joel was a big 'teddy bear'kind of guy. He was warm, kind, soft spoken, and had a great twinkle in his eyes! May memories shared with family and friends give you comfort and peace!

Kay,
The first words that come to mind when I think of Joel are: calm strength. He served many as an intelligent, patient insightful guide for many of us; and his delving into active outreach for the community was a small mirror of his love for you and your family. I always got a kick out of the sparkle in his eye when I talked about one of his kids, or was cracking a joke under his breath!
So sorry for your loss. He will definitely be missed. May faith and good memories...

Mr. Vanderwall (the only way that I would address him, because I respected him and thought he was a great man.) Growing up as a kid in the neighborhood Mr. Vanderwall always had a smile, he would always talk to you as a person and he reallly cared about you. We were blessed to have him touch our lives. I am sad that I cannot make the funeral or visitation, but hope to spend a little time with the family next time I am in Muskegon. Love to all, I am very sorry for you loss. Love Jay...
