What to say about Joel. Words cannot express what we shared and how much we valued Joel as our friend. Jack and I along with our son John and daughter Jennifer fished and shared hunting camps with Joel, Gary, Lester and many other good friends. Joel was a man to ride the river with. He will be missed and remembered by all of us. A comforting thought, we know he is fishing in Heaven with Gary and Lester! What a reunion they had! We love you Merle and share in your loss. Jack and Sharon Waters

So sorry to hear of the passing of Joel. I worked with Joel as his secretary for over 15 years. He was a great boss and kind friend. He will be missed.
