Joel will always be remembered for doing laps in my pool. He loved to swim and actually did many laps in a very casual, smooth way.

Our love and prayers are with you Joyce.
Such great memories from the eighties, Hillary´s, the Halfshell,
St Botolphs and seeing you both through the nineties until the present at Papa and Stockyard. Joel was a true gentleman and full of fun. We had many laughs over many years. We will treasure his memory and have an Armagnac in his honor. Rest in peace.

We spent countless hours together after long nights at Hillary's in Boston. There were also many laps in the pool. So many fond memories with you and sometimes Joyce would also make an appearance. Rest in peace, "Book", a special friend for so many years. Love ya, Phil

Rest in peace Joel. You were one of a kind. Full of fun and life. We could always count on you and Joyce to be at every wedding, funeral, bot-mitzvah. I loved every minute I got to spend with you. Until we meet again. Love ilana (brown) west.
