Meg, Emily, and Ben:
I am honored to have known Joel and it was a privilege to have worked for him for more than 16 years. I know that we have all lost a very special person. Words do an injustice in explaining how much he will be missed! He will remain very alive in my memories and I will never have another Program Manager like him. My condolences to you all.
