I'm Joel's nephew Tom, Joels sister Loretta's eldest son. I have very fond memories of my Uncle Joel and his wife Kay as a youngster growing up in Rochester. I will always remember Joel's warm genuine smile and laugh. He will always hold a special place in my memory. My wife Nicki also would like to say that her fondest memory of Joel is when he made positive comments about her hair! He made her feel very welcome as part of the family. Our most sincere condolences to the entire family! Tom & Nicki.
