Happy belated birthday Mr Dison! You know me I was always late to class my school work lol I appreciate it your lectures in our talks. I will always remember how proud you were and honored being a son , husband and father! You will always be a part of my story I will always remember how you believed in me when I thought no one would.

Joel and I had a few classes together in High School, business law and math. My last name starts with A so I was always in the front on the left and he was the first in the next row over. We didn´t talk much, I was pretty reclusive, but I was just remembering the other day that he was very concerned the day I crashed my scooter and went with me to go look at the mangled wreck on break. We had that in common, owning and riding a scooter, he had a Vespa. The thing that stood out after all these years was his concern for others. I just learned of his passing today through Facebook and I am so sorry for this loss to his family. Even though he is no longer here I know his spirit will always be with his family.

My condolences to his children, wife and family. I am a former schoolmate of Joel, RHS, class of 1987.
It is never easy when a love one departs from us, but we must take comfort in knowing, the Lord knows best.

It is heartening to read these tributes. I never personally met Joel, but know/knew his parents and brother; all in the teaching profession. I became a teacher, in part, because Joel's dad made learning such a wonderful experience, to HIS students. I have NO Doubt that many of Joel's former students will follow in HIS footsteps one day, also...

My condolences to Janyth and Curtis, and Joel's children and wife. What a tragic loss of someone so loved, and who should have had many more years of helping make a positive difference in this world.

The "conjunction function " video still plays in my head after almost 10 years of being Mr. Dison's student. He was one of the best teacher's I've had, I still remember the time when he came in with his blonde dyed hair. Its hard to believe such and influential person has passed away he will always remain in our memories.My condolences to his family may God be with them during this hard time.

I still remember when I was going for Vice President at E.A. Hall, and Mr Dison's signature was the last one I needed from a teacher for my petition. I had to be on time, and show how a modeled student behaved all week in his class. It just seemed like last week it had happened. May you rest in peace Joel.

I am shocked and saddened by this news. Mr. Dison left an impression on many people, especially his students at E.A. Hall. The 'Dison brothers', were a force to be reckoned with.

May you find peace in the loving memories of your son, brother, husband, father, and friend. He was a wonderful human being. Rest in peace Mr. Dison.

This is way too soon and sad to even imagine. Joel and Kimberly were friends since High School and I had the priviledge of knowing him as her friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his mother and children whom I know he loved dearly.
