I met Joel in 2003 when he was a reporter with KCAL-TV Ch.9/KCBS-TV Ch.2 news in Los Angeles, and I was head of PR for the American Red Cross. We collaborated on several news stories, one of which won Joel an Emmy Award. He was a tremendous reporter and a wonderful person. His sudden loss has left me saddened beyond belief. My condolences to his entire family. May Joel rest in peace.

We are deeply saddened at the news and send condolences straight from our hearts to yours.

Our sympathy to Joel's family, especially Angela & Lola,  we just recently became friends at the WaterGarden in Fort Lauderdale, caring for Lola. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow.

Watched Joel on WLTX in Columbia SC - he had a great persona and it was great seeing him on the air - I was so sorry to hear he had left us - he hasn't been on our airwaves in SC for some time but was not forgotten - i instantly recognized his face when the announcement came over on FB - thinking of and praying for you - thanks for sharing him with us..

Joel will forever be a source of strength to my family. My daughter Deanna was diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 10. We met Joel 6 years ago through the JDRF and became instant friends, Joel did an interview with my daughter at her school about Diabetes awareness, he connected with her on her own level, Deanna and Joel even compared their Insulin pumps and Deanna thought it was really cool that they had the same pump and in the same color!.  Joel was an inspiration to my daughter and often gave advice and support to her and myself.  Joel will truly be missed but his spirit will live on in our hearts forever..
