Jan and Family,

We have alot of great softball memories that will be never fogotten. Like when a left handed batter would come up to bat and Joe would yell hooker and he always would laugh after he said that or when he was coaching third and never quit talking and telling everyone never to give up at all those ball games and tournaments (Duluth,Sand Creek,)He will deeply missed and thought of often!

Janice,
I am so grateful to have had the chance to know Joel my whole life. He was such a kind, gentle person. I will always remember his cute accent and how he loved to tell stories. He did so much for my Grandma after my Grandpa passed away and so have you. Thank you for that. I have always called you both my grandma's guardian angels. Now Joel can watch over you and her from above. I hope you find comfort in knowing how special Joel was and how much everyone enjoyed his presence. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to let me know. Love you Janice!
