Dear Curt, Deb, and Alyce,
Joel was my son Jay Kelly's good friend. I was so happy when Jay chose Joel to stand up in his wedding this past May. It was always great when he would come over and visit. He was a kind, and respectful young man and so fun and positive to be around! He will be missed greatly. Prayers to your family to help you get through this difficult time in your lives.

Hi Deb and Curt:
Well so sad to see of Joel's passing--I remember when you, Betsy and I all had those baby boys in 85/86. I haven't seen you two in awhile but my thoughts and prayers are with you and the Van Boxtel/Marsh family at this time, so sad to lose a family member, old or young.

Take care:

Curt, Deb, and Alyce... We were disheartened by the news of Joels passing. He was a person of few words just like Jerry. But he seemed to have a hand in all work and play and you could tell family was everything. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I only knew Joel as a little boy, when he was my student at Rock Ledge. Even then he had a great attitude and heart. My prayers are with you.

Ways to help us remember...

I am hoping to gather a collection of the ways Joel impacted the lives of others...

1) Please bring a story to Joel's service tomorrow on a note card or small piece of paper.  We have a few poster boards were you can clip up your story or fond memory of Joel.

2) There is a spot to post comments about Joel and upload pictures at The Green Bay Press Gazzette

3) Please comment on any posts, pictures, or email me through this blog.  I am excited to put together a book of Joel's many talents, friends, family, and passions...

Joel a humble man, never told us many of the things he did for people, we would love to hear what he has done for you...

Joel was never much of a man for flowers, however he loved working with his hands, building, and spending time up north.  In lieu of flowers, we will be contributing Joel's gifts to scholarship funds for those entering into careers where they can impact the lives of others through the work of their hands.

Casual dress is encouraged for Joel's visitation and service.  

Joel, Curt, Deb, Grandma and Grandpa VanBoxtel, Me, Paul at the KBC!
