Rest in Peace...

I just discovered that my friend Joel died on November 17th.  In getting my new email address set, I forgot to change my address with the CarePage site that I used to keep up with him.  I just signed in today to find the news.

I met Joel while singing in the Dallas Symphony Chorus.  He was always smiling and laughing, and generally a joy to be around.

Joel was a vivacious singer, husband, and father of 3.  He was a dedicated student, and an all-over inspiring person.  He was 37 at the time of his death.  He was fighting acute myelogenous leukemia, and had received a bone marrow transplant, but was unable to fight off the final infection, and succumbed due to septic shock.
