Joseph F. "Joe" Pells

Hello Mark,
I was wondering if you & your father were still in the business, and learned of Joe's passing this year. I have great memories of my coming to Denver in 1972 as my first assignment with the AETNA CASUALTY CO. I was assigned to the PELLS AGENCY as the Casualty Underwriter.

I can say that working with the agency & your father inspired me to have a career in Commercial Insurance, and Professional Liability . I will be forever grateful for having known him in my life.

Dear Mark, Allison and Family,
I just learned of Joe's passing after going on Feldman's website today. I'm sorry to have missed the funeral. Joe has been a friend for so long. I will miss that twinkle in his eye and his smile.

We played so many rounds of golf over the years. He was always so enjoyable to play with and so encouraging of me. It was always amusing to me to see the back and forth between Joe and David. I will remember those days with great fondness. At least 12 Jewish guys teeing off together every weekend.

Beyond that we would run into each other from time to time at Temple and especially during the holidays. He was always happy to see me and I was always happy to see him. He had a great sense of humor.

More recently, you know that we got to visit each other frequently at the Carillon because my mother-in-law was there. We had dinner a few times and would talk and we would go to the Shabbat service that Carol organized there. Carol was so proud that she was able to do that for her mother and for Joe and the others that would regularly attend. I am really happy that Carol got to know him a little better. She also organized a seder that Joe was at and that was really a wonderful evening.

I got to see him a few times after my mother-in-law passed away. I knew we wouldn't have many more but I'm very happy to have had the time that I did.

He was a really great guy and I will miss him terribly. Peace to you and all your family.
Marty & Carol
