Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and his his fight against the cancer.  Be strong and be well my brother.  If you need a group hug, I know a 1000 fellow kayak anglers that will be there for you.  The door is open ...

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

Have had about three different occasions to spend time chatting and working with Mooch at various Kayaking events, and was struck by how immediately likable and good-hearted he is. Count me in on that group hug thing.

I met Joel at the 2011 AOTY ceromony in HMB; he was one of the first members to befriend me when I was new. We (my wife and I) actually spent time after the ceromony was over and talked until mostly everyone had left.

Since then, Eileen and I made it a point to stay close friends with Joel and help him when we could; even if helping meant just being a ear to listen. Even after, Joel decided to take some time off from the website, we made a strong effort to let him know that we are still here for him.

If you miss him, reach out and let him know; make a call, send an email or even send a card (stamps pay for my next kayak  :smt044)... be a part of his life, just as much as he is a part of yours...

I can honestly say I don't miss him, because we never let him out of my life.....

Would love to see you back brother, but I know you will do what you need to do

By the way, when I go to the beach at the SC yacht harbor and see the sexy girls playing beach volleyball, I think of your passion for the SPORT  :smt004
