Ty, Bill and I were so sorry to hear about your dad. I can still remember him asking me to teach you to swim 40+ years ago. What a character! He will be missed. And I never turned down a chance to play a round of golf with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Leslie and Bill Pfalmer

There are too many recollections from 70 years of association w/this character to relate - he was a unique friend, frat brother, golf coach, story teller...always good for a laugh, fun to talk w/in person or from a thousand miles away. Will miss him big time.

What a dynamic person. He was one of the 'cool parents' when we were teenagers. Joel will be missed by everyone who knew him. Anything you need, Ty; you know where we are.
