Condolences
Dear Ruth and family,
I am sorry to hear about Joel. I have many fond memories of us all growing up in Plymouth and wonderful family times together. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Vicki
We are so sorry to hear of Joel’s passing. He was a best friend all thru our school years at Plymouth and our working days at Donnellys. After high school we both had a passion of drag racing each other in our Chevelle Malibu’s and just hanging out on the old Plymouth Square. Great times! He always carried a happy smile and friendly welcome. Rest peacefully dear friend. We will miss you. Clarence & Nancy Ousley
Joel will be truly and deeply missed he was one very special man….There will be a hole in my heart forever….He was the absolute most caring person I have ever met
Dear Surviving family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Joel’s absence will leave a big hole in all of our hearts.
I believe that we never lose the people we love; the memories we have of them enrich our lives through the shared love we had with them when they were with us.
As Helen Keller said, “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
Joel will be in my heart forever.
Very sad news.Goodbye old friend.
