  I think many of us second gen NCKAers will agree that It didn't feel official until Joel welcomed you.

+1 on that.
I am glad that I had that moment to meet Joel and feel welcomed.
RIP buddy.

You are still (and always will be) one of the best human beings I ever met! But I am going to miss you tremendously.
You were a positive influence on everyone who had the fortune to meet you. And you were incredibly generous, kind, and understanding...which is why I'm confident you will forgive me for feeling so selfish...selfish for feeling so sad & angry that you had to leave us.
Yes, I understand you are in a better place.  And yes, I understand your suffering is over. But I know you'll forgive me for crying out loud "NOOOOOOO!" Much love, brother Mooch.

I believe Joel was a very happy man, in pain but very happy and accomplished. I am glad that we all did show our love to him when he was around. I know he felt and expressed this love.

Rest in peace Joel. Glad to have your acquaintance.

Jim, Thank you so much for posting this picture. I believe it exemplifies the true spirit of our beloved Joel.

Just days before his fight with cancer came to an end he was out doing what he loved to do. He wasn't sitting home moping, or even worse; suffering. He was outdoors with a rod in his hands and a smile on his face.


It eases my pain greatly to see this picture.

This is how I will always remember you, Joel. I love you.
