I was fortunate to be able to say that I grew up with Joel. We shared beds and families for the first part of our years. As we grew up, we always were never further apart than that phone call or that weekend together surfing, camping or just goofing off. Some of the best times of my life, were with Joel and Eric JOEL, ERIC, & Rob the “ Council of three” Now the “Council of Two” God Speed Joel..
