I will remember Joel as a gentle soul. I loved his laugh, unique sense of humor, and his all encompassing hugs. My thoughts are with all his loving family. I miss you Joel.

As only an acquaintance with Joel, I was affected by his great personality, and I looked forward to seeing him during my work day. See, I work at the post office, and saw him often during the week. He shared his affinity of cigars with me, and it was always fun to "smell" what he was shipping that day. I will miss him, and my condolences to his family.

Joel was a great friend and just a wonderful person. Out of the multitudes of people I know, Joel was someone that stood apart. His humor, wit, empathy, artistic nature, and his love inspired me to be a better person. He was someone that I truly loved and I love very few. He will always be with me.

Joel, I have such fond memories of playing baseball with you and Brian. Your laughter made me smile. You will be deeply missed.

Though I was only acquainted with Joel in a business manner, his thoughtfulness and kind spirit was clearly evident. My thoughts and well wishes go to the family and friends of Joel.

Joel was a great friend and roommate. One of the most generous souls I've ever met. His sense of humor could always lift your spirits, and it was truly relaxing to be around him. I will carry fond memories of us having good times, grabbing Pizza King take-out and playing Boggle together. A talented, intelligent and honest man, you will be greatly missed. My sympathies go out to Joel's family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of another friend. Joel and I met in High School and fast became friends. I can honestly say that Joel made me a better person and friend just for knowing him. You will be missed Joel-thoughts and prayers go out to his brother Brian and the rest of Joels family. Rest in peace Joel, and know that you affected so many lives in a positive way, and will be missed by so many. Shawn Bacon

My deepest regrets go out to Joel's family and friends. He was so talented in so many ways. He will forever be missed.

There are not enough words to express how deeply saddened and sorry we are to hear of your loss. I remember Joel most fondly during childhood. We had some wonderful times together and created everlasting memories as children. Hold each other tight and remember we will be thinking of all of you during this difficult journey. Lovingly-Robin and Terra Buckley

Joel, I am glad that I was lucky enough to know you,so sorry we lost touch over the years. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. RIP Joel, you will be missed.

Joel was my childhood friend. When I think back through elementary school to my early twenties, he was a part of my life. We were good friends, who, as often times happens, lost touch. I carried him on with me in my adult life, thought of him often. His kindness, his smile, his infectious laugh, and his generous and gentle nature left an indelible mark on my heart. I loved him and his brother Brian growing up. I continue to love them both to this day. Joel was a wonderful man and his absence from this world is felt deeply, of that I am certain. My love and condolences go out to all of Joel's family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My granfather's services are the same as Joel's so I won't be able be attend to hug all of you. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers! Bridget

We are so sorry for your loss. Joel was a wonderful person with a big heart and such great talent. You can't think of Joel without seeing his smile and hearing his contagious laugh. He was so proud whenever he spoke of his daughter. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Dear Peggy and Family---I am so terribly sorry and offer you my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. My children were childhood friends as we lived on the same street! As an adult, everyone on Pearl and Main Street knew him and loved him---there were many sad and lost faces Friday in our businesses as the word spread amongst us! Know his life made a great impression on those who knew and loved him!!

I am one of Natalie's teacher's at her daycare. I go to school full time and only worked a few hours a week prior to summer. Her smile and laugh infected me instantly once I started back full time this summer. She is always so excited to see me and my son Joey when we get there in the morning and her personality is amazing and so energy filled!! My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa's family as well as Joel's family at this difficult time.....

My deepest sympathies to the family of Joel. He was loved dearly and will be missed by many! RIP Joel...it was a true honor to know you all these years...

So sorry to hear of Joel's passing. We were classmates from elementary school to high school. He was a good guy. Funny. Sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

RIP Joel you will be dearly missed. I will miss seeing your smiling face on my daily drive by.<3

Joel, You had the most beautiful brown eyes. To his family and loved ones, you are in my heart and prayers. Know that Joel was thought of highly by his Central classmates. Respectfully, ~Jenny

So sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and Dad. Ryan, we miss hearing from you. You were always one of my boys and we have so many good memories of you. If you get a chance give us a call. Remember all the good times you had with your Dad. You will always carry him in your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Maybe Gus was there to greet your Dad. I can't believe Gus has been gone for almost 10 years. God Bless
