Just a few short words – Joel was a good person!!! Even I worked with him a short period of time i remember him always being a good friend and excellent team member. And knowing my love to heavy metal, Joel shared a lot of his favorite bands to my fcbk.
Well, as difficult as this sad time is, Chuck, Clint, all his family and friends, and especially his mom Alice Reed, may you find comfort in knowing that Joel ‘ll always be with you…..
