I was a classmate of Joel from Stanton Junior High School clear through graduation. He was always such a sweet guy and a friend to so many. My deepest condolences to his daughters and their families. Prayers to you all in the coming weeks and months. He was a great guy.
Rest in peace my friend. My condolence's to the family. I remember hanging out down at the garage in the 80's through the 2000's. You and your dad were great people. You always found time to help with any mechanical issue I had with my trucks.
