Jeff, Lynn and Bobbie...
Knowing Joel all these years was a real pleasure, both as a friend and patient. Always ready with a story or an anecdote, and like detective Columbo, he always had one more tale to tell!
I'm glad I got to know him and I can only imagine the loss you feel. His memory will remain alive in all who knew him.
Much love,
Manny
