Condolence From: Mark and Betsy Mullett
Condolence: Joey, Betsy and I are sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I have many childhood memories of Uncle Joel, his kindness will not be forgotten. We appreciated his hospitality when we would go to New Martinsville. Our children will always remember listening to Uncle Joel play trombone in the basement and later having your delicious baked steak for dinner. Prayers are being lifted up for comfort and strength as you mourn his passing.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this season.
Joel was such a dear and precious man, and I was so pleased to have known him. We all loved him at Quinet's.
my husband, Jim, was most impressed with his stories that he shared on the Katrina mission trip in 2005.
we will surely miss Joel
sitting with you most evenings at the restaurant.
There comes great comfort in knowing he is at rest and at peace enjoying all that Heaven has to offer.
What a wonderful man ! He had accomplished so much.
