I am sorry to hear of the loss of Joel. He was a very kind and caring person who always came through with anything I needed for any fundraiser that I was working on. He was always telling me about his skiing adventures with his boys and how proud he was of his daughter. He was a VERY PROUD Dad. May all the special memories you shared with your Dad help you through this heart breaking time.
