I remember Joel fondly. Being married to Ron Haskell, we enjoyed many great times at the home in Woodside with Joel and Helen and at our home in Cupertino. Sad to think that they (Joel and Ron) are now both gone. hopefully they are toasting one another.

Its taken me 4 years to come to terms with my dads death. As a young child he was great. Always taking the family on great vacations. Unfortunately in his latter years he made the choice to distance himself from me even though i reached out to him constantly. I wish he would have remained the dad i knew as a young child. I have my memories of those years and will use those to remember him as i need to. May you rest in peace dad. Someday we may meet again in another place.
