Linda and Family,
I remember Joel as one of the cool guys when I worked at the Record when I returned from the Army in 1971-1972. Through the years I'd see Joel and he was always positive and seemed to really enjoy life, especially his boating and his red Porsche. My condolences for your loss of a great guy. Steve Spatola, serving in Iraq
