JOEL SARNOFF Obituary

SARNOFF--Joel, age 95, of Hewlett, NY, passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 5, 2022 at his apartment in Silver Spring, MD. Born in Bensonhurst in 1927, Joel lived a long life full of generosity and humor. Hard working and always the life of the party, he enjoyed making people laugh as much as he did playing tennis and bridge. Joel is survived by his son, Jason and husband Justin; daughter Melissa and husband Jeremy, and beloved granddaughters Breanna and Madeline. He was preceded in death by his wife Rena. The funeral will be a private ceremony.
