Very upsetting news indeed. Relay our best to his family.

That is awful news. Joel is one of the nicest guys I've met
through roff, a fine angler and a fine gentleman.

He always signed his posts *DFD* but he would never reveal why.

You never asked him. "Drag-free drift" is what he told me.

Joel was always good to me here, and I'll miss him.
