My dear Mr. Eisen.

This morning I was watching a youtube, and saw the last name Eisen. 

Immediately you came to mind,  I thought Mr. Joel Eisen, my Wickliffe High School counselor,  I wonder how he is?

How sad I am to come upon this obituary.   

I am 60 yrs old, and I  clearly remember your kindness and wonderful direction in my early years.  Thank you sir!

Rest in Peace 🙏

Joel was a kind man and a great father to my late wife Elyse. I have beautiful memories of spending holidays with Joel and the family.  I always loved how he called Harry " Hirchel".  He was a good.man and I know Elyse loved him very much as her father. We always had fun when he came to Chocago or we went to OH.


My deepest sympathy and respect to Gail for the loss of your best friend and companion

I had the pleasure of working with Joel for over 20 years in the Wickliffe City School System.  He was passionate about education, cared deeply for children, and was of the highest integrity.  I loved his sense of humor and easy way of dealing with complex problems. He was a wonderful asset to education.  May he rest in peace.

Mr. Eisen was my Vice Principal in High School and during my senior year I went through a lot.  He was one of those people that helped me through that time. He joked with me and was there to confide in without judgment  just a kind heart. He will be greatly missed and remembered always with fondness.

I am beyond sad that Joel has passed away. I only wish I had known him better and longer. Even so, I realized how gentle and kind he was.  My heart goes out to you and your family. Keep them all close to you no matter how far away they live. Family is everything. 

Joel was a gentle giant with a big smile and tremendous heart!
All our love from Long Island and beyond!

We go back a long way, since elementary school at Taylor.    Never could keep up with his basketball skills. My condolences to the family.

Best regards

Dear Gail and Family,

I was so saddened to learn of the passing of my Cousin, Joel. I have such fond memories of playing at his house, especially with Debbie, when we were young. After reading all of the kind things that have been said about Joel, I hope that your heart is full of the memories that people have of him, and in knowing how many lives he touched.

Gail and Family,  
My deepest sympathies on the loss of Joel.  He was a favorite cousin, a wonderful guy in all ways.  I remember many happy times spent in his house on Silsby when we were all growing up.  His Mom, my Aunt Irene, was a wonderful Aunt to me, and I cherish the times I spent with her and with Joel.
I am so glad we all got together for lunch with cousins Lenny, Marcia and Cheryl and friend Sandi when I was in Cleveland.  It will be a memory I treasure.
Love,
JoAnne



Sending condolences to your family.  May your memories help at this difficult time.  

Joel was my education mentor. I will always be indebted to him for his guidance, long conversations, and the example he set for what a great educator should be.  On this Teacher Appreciation Day/Week we have lost one of the best.  He touched so many lives, lives of students, lives of parents, lives of teachers.  I will miss him, but will always remember his love for learning and his love for education….   RB

I was so deeply saddened to hear about Joel’s passing. Sending my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to Gail and the rest of the family.  Joel was such a kind-hearted, caring and dedicated professional and family man - strong example to many! May his memory be a blessing!
