Memories & Tributes

Very sorry to hear of Joel’s passing. He was my cousin, on my dad’s side. Unfortunately, I haven’t been in contact with my cousins from that side of the family for way too many years. I was lucky enough to have been in contact, and even had a video call with Joel about a year or so ago. I hope the best for his family and friends. Don’t let the years slip by without reaching out to family and loved ones. Lance Van Valin
