Received the news this evening and am left sad and speechless. Joel is the Godfather of NCKA. He welcomed many of us into this sport of kayak fishing and touched all of our lives in many ways. I will miss you brother ... calm waters.

Mr.Matt:
RIP brother Mooch.
Hojoman:
Best ambassador for NCKA and kayaking and a damn good friend, to boot.
Archie Marx:
It will be a somber week for Linda and me. I think many of us second gen NCKAers will agree that It didn't feel official until Joel welcomed you.
