Joel loved people and when you walked into his house he lit up with a smile, delighted laughter and bright happy eyes. With his capacity for joy and laughter, his sweet childlike spirit and his loving eyes, Joel taught all who knew him what it is to be loved and happy. Joel fought long and hard to stay with us because he loved us all so much and although we will miss him we are happy to know that his spirit flies free. We love you and miss you We hold you close in our hearts Knowing you have flown free From the tangle of your body Into the arms of love And will be with us always A memorial service and celebration of Joels life will be held Thursday July 28th at 1:30 PM at First Presbyterian Church, 2170 Albert St., officiated by Reverend Eric Muirhead, followed by interment at Riverside Memorial Park.
