He moved to McCall’s Chapel School in 1985 and has been a resident there since then. Joel worked in the workshop located at the school and made many life-long friends while at the school.

He enjoyed being able to come home on week-ends and holidays and cherished being with family and being able to see his extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins as well. He considered his cottage at the school his home, and was always ready to get back home to his friends at McCall’s. Joel was a very sociable person and knew every person by name and always had a smile and friendly hello for everyone he met. He will be remembered and missed by his many friends at McCall’s. a Memorial Service will be held at the school at a later date, so all of his friends and supervisors can remember their special memories and be able to say good bye to their special friend.
