Joel moved to SLO in 2003 on retiring from corporate life and drove a school bus - his favorite job ever! Joel wrote resumes online and gave advice to many job seekers. He loved meeting people from all over the world. Joel and Leah moved 19 times in 60 years of marriage including 2 years in Israel. He was a "frequent flyer" at French Hospital in recent years and we are forever grateful for the wonderful care he received from the French team. The family plans a memorial service. Donations to the Woods Humane Society in his memory are appreciated.
