Just talked to Wolfy. Joel had gone down to Penns to hang with
DavePA. Didn't feel well and Dave took him to the hospital. He's
been there ever since. Doesn't look like he's going to make it out.
That's all we know.
Tight lines, Joel. Tonight, I drank a martini in your honor. I've
asked you before, and I ask again, how can you drink that ****?

Ach. Not good.

Kicking myself in the butt for not taking advantage of the times I
could have made a short trip down to the Driftless and fished with
Joel. A good and gentle man. I remember how much he liked the stretch
on the Wisconsin above town. Said it was the best smallmouth fishing
he'd ever had.

Not good. Not good at all.

Let him know Jacci and I have him in our thoughts, Wolfgang.

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

Yes, indeed, bad news. I shared a martini or two with Joel at Penns.
He is a fine gentleman who seemed out of place with the roff
hooligans/reprobates. His hosting of the clave raffle at Penns was
nothing short of hilarious. DFD - when I said Dumb F&%$# Democrat, he
smiled and said, "Close!" Although I haven't seen him in years, we did
speak recently about new hips. He will be missed.
