Joseph Pell

To the Family of Joseph Pell, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. I never met Mr. Pell, nor any members of his family. Though, I came to learn about him, through his book, Taking Risks. I received a signed copy through my Cousins, the Croner Family. I find myself ever drawn to his book, and the story of his life. I never stop being amazed at how he lived his life. His story inspires me on the deepest level. My thoughts are with you and your family...

Dear extended Pell family -
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your dear father Joe and am sorry for your loss.
I remember your father as a gracious, self-effacing and charming man. He was the epitome of kindness, he was generous and an icon in our community for always doing what is right, providing for your family - and for the larger community - and he was joyful!
His legacy will live on in you. I can only hope that your memories of him will provide you some...

Joseph Pell leaves behind quite a legacy. I was blessed to be friends with Karen and Heather and met Mr. Pell several times when I did drop in visits to Karen. The Pell Foundation donated thousands of dollars to my non-profit in Marin. The entire Pell family are kind and generous and we are blessed that Yosel never gave up.
I am deeply sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and hugs to Karen and her family.

My condolences to your family Moo's Ice Cream is still the talk of the town God Bless
Denise Thomas

As a little girl growing up in Richmond a weekend was never complete without a trip to the park and an ice cream on the way home. Half the time I dropped the ice cream out of the cone before I left the store, but I was never yelled at. Moo's always made sure a clumsy child got a second scoop free. Thank you for the memories.

Thanks to Joe, Café Monet was born in Joe's office building on Smith Ranch Road in 1987. It was delightful to have him, a true gentleman, for landlord. Debra, too, was instrumental in our success. He was the real deal! Jerry Mulrooney - [email protected]

I just wanted to share a memory that I have of Moo's on McDonald if I can recall correctly if not it has been over 33 years. Nevertheless, My three children, my two nephews and my niece were in the park. I only had a small amount of change, not enough to get 7 ice-cream cones. I decided I would ask clerks if they would let us have some ice- cream with the money that we had, and they did. It was awesome! RIP Mr. Pell.

I never knew Mr. Pell, but Moo’s Ice Cream was one of highlights of my childhood. I remember during holidays you could wait almost an hour in line trying to get a scoop of ice cream. We usually went to Moo’s one day in the weekend. I always got a double scoop of black walnut on the bottom and lemon custard on top. I would like to extend my sympathy to the Pell family.

Dave and Gina - I am so sorry for your loss, and absolutely fascinated by your father’s life. I plan on reading his book.
