Joel I. Schlossberg, born on January 4, 1952, in Brooklyn, NY, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2023. Joel's life was marked by his loving nature and kindness, which touched the hearts of all who knew him.
A true New Yorker at heart, Joel's early life was spent in Brooklyn, cherishing every moment along its vibrant streets. He carried the spirit of the city with him even after moving to Tinton Falls in 1989, and finally settling down in Morganville in 1997. Joel's love of nature was evident in his fondness for leisurely nature walks, reveling in the tranquility and capturing its essence through his photography. His photos-vivid snapshots of serene landscapes and dynamic cityscapes-were a testament to his artistic passion.
Joel was a devoted husband to his wife, Susan, and their shared day trips provided endless joy during their year together. As a loving father, he instilled in his sons, Michael and Peter, a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world's beauty. Joel also found comfort in the melodies of classical music, and his collection of model trains was a source of much pride and nostalgia.
He is survived by his loving wife, Susan; beloved sons, Michael and Peter; caring mother, Faye; and brother, Fred. Joel was predeceased by his father, Harry. His legacy of love and his gentle spirit will live on in the memories of his family and friends. Joel's life celebrated the simple, yet profound pleasures, and he will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry to hear if Joel´s illness and passing... I have been going to Joel for many years. I loved visiting his shop and seeing his photos.. He was so interesting to talk with and so good at what he did and was so precise with his measurements.. It was so nice to have a local guy that was so dependable, dedicated and loved and took pride in what he did. He will be missed.

We met Joel as customers over 30 years ago, and in our multiple visits to his place of business, he shared his experiences of his photograph-taking trips to many different cities and other places. We enjoyed viewing his work and appreciated the dedication to give us the best possible service. He will be missed by all who met him.

To Joel´s family: I am truly sorry for the loss of your loved one. Joel was truly a gentle-man, willing to help all who came to his business for assistance. His generosity knew no bounds. His artistry was demonstrated in his photographic work. His eye for beauty was extraordinary. My wife and I would come in for glasses and our conversation would migrate to politics, art, photography and other various subjects that would cease only when another customer arrived. I´m glad to have known him. - Dan & Arleen Vecchio, Hasbrouck Heights.
