Joel lived up to his name in every way. He was a bull—strong, stubborn at times, hardworking, and the unquestioned leader of our family. But beneath that strength was a deep kindness and compassion that guided everything he did. He loved and supported his family fiercely, and he was always the utmost gentleman to his wife. Their love was steady, loyal, and unwavering.
