This is horrible and shocking news. Dave and I are so upset. I have been friends with Joel for years. He made a movie of my father, musician Val Eddy and recorded me too. We talked about a myriad of things many times. I was happy to employ him for our computer needs. The last time I spoke to him was when I showed up at the pizza parlor on Alpine Road for his seminar - and no one was there. So I called him and he said he cancelled for lack of interest. I told him I didn't even know I was supposed to register. I was annoyed mainly because I had really looked forward to hearing him present whatever topic he was going to share. I always worried about his health and tried to get him to consider gastric banding, but he got irritated at me, so I let it go. He was on an exercise program though, he had said. We were just passing by the house last weekend and I glanced over at it, thinking of him. And, we were cleaning out some computer things the other night, and I thought of bringing them to him to identify. So, he has been on my mind all week - and now this....He videotaped my 60th birthday party last year and I haven't even had time to watch it. Now it will be bittersweet. Joel was an idea man, an entrepeneur, a passionate patriot and such a great guy. He was so proud of his daughter. I cut out the newspaper article on her for him. This is so so sad and hard to believe. He was taken way too early. Deepest condolences to his wife and daughter. I know what its like to be an only child and lose a parent too young.

Words cannot express my feelings. Your lives were intertwined in ways that so many yearn for, and with that brings great sadness, but I hope also much joy! Amy, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and give your mom a hug from me! You feel like family and my life has been enriched through our friendship! May your memories of your dad live forever in your heart and may he guide you always.
