I am so sad to hear of Joel’s passing. I worked with Joel at TCI Tire Centers. He kept all of us laughing! We always wondered what he would say next. He and I found we had a shared “bond” in being Clemson alums. During football season, we had lots of conversations about the games, referees, rankings, etc. He loved his family. He often spoke of his nieces and his face would light up with such joy. While I can’t be there today, please know my thoughts and prays are with the family.
Bonds family, So sorry to hear about Joel’s passing. May God comfort you all at this time.
So sorry to hear about Joel passing. I don’t remember Joel as a young person but I grew up with his cousins and his Dad who was some what older but I remember Joel senior coming to the Graydon reunion and was always glad to see him and his family. Surprised to see Susan and Danny live in Rockwell because that is about twenty miles from Lexington where Brenda and I live
