It was very sad to hear about Joel’s passing. He was a pleasure to work with and organized one of the best company meetings I’ve ever attended. Also, we had a Thursday tradition at work where the veterans would wear their specially-made veteran shirts and it was my honor to say to him on Thursdays, “Thank you for your service to our country.” Joel, you will be missed.
My condolences to the family from Adivine Care Home Family. Joey was a very sweet man. He love/adore his mother sooo much. She always enjoyed his company and the shakes he brought her. Rest Peacefully no more pain and suffering.
That means so much thanks Angel
My sincerest condolences to the Whitfield and extended family. Heaven just had an excellent cook step into its kitchen. We’ll miss you Joel.
I was privileged to have the opportunity of working with Joel. He was the consummate professional and raised the level of discourse of every interaction in which he was involved. Additionally, I was (quite fortunately) a beneficiary of his culinary skills when he once prepared a sushi plate for another colleague and me in our company break room. And…he knew so much about so many things! It was truly an honor to have known him.
Godspeed Joel
My sympathies to the family. Take comfort in his memories.
