I am in Joel's extended family and always enjoyed seeing him in December / January, during our annual trip to Las Vegas. He was one of the most easy-to-around people I have known. Extended family gatherings have the potential to feel awkward and stiff, but I always felt completely comfortable with Joel, from the first time I met him. What a kind and genuine and hard, hard-working person. I will personally miss him and have been thinking about his sweet smile and merry eyes but my heart aches for his family. Sending my love to them.
