Our body feels so heavy and our senses a little numb. Yet the memories of Joel are all happy ones. He has left an afterglow of smiles, peace, confidence, support and a darn good golf swing. He has left us with an echo whispering softly of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I am sure he would like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun so that we can all say, “ Thank you, God, for the happy times having Joel in our lives. He did your bidding showing all of us how to live. Now please help his sad family to heal knowing Joel is now with You. We love him and his beautiful family.” Your family is your legacy. Well done, Joel. Well done, good friend.

Ardith,
I just now heard about Joel's passing and am so saddened by the news. I thought about him often and am reminded of the extremely close relationship we had growing up in Corning. Even though we lost contact many years ago, I can say with absolute certainty that Joel was the best friend I ever had. I could never hold a candle to his golf or basketball skills but because he cared about me, it gave me motivation to try. He is with our Lord now and soon we will all be reunited at which time there will be no pain or sorrow and we can all spend eternity together as one in Him! I will do everything in my power to make it to the memorial service in August. To you, your children and all those he touched throughout his life, I extend my sincerest condolences.

The HOPE cruise and time we spent in Cozumel with pedicure fish nibbling at your toes was also a highlight. You have our love and support as Dr Joel B. Griffing's life endeavors live on...you can count on us. Love, blessings, and continued prayers. Rick n Brenda Reese
