Condolences
Although Joel (Jud) was younger than me, he was far more the "older brother". Throughout our lives together I looked to him for comfort, understanding and sensible, unjudgmental guidance ... and was never disappointed. And then there was his glorious sense of humour. What a gift it was to be party to his brilliant wit and infectious laughter. On top of all that, he taught me to understand and appreciate the wisdom of the life philosophy: "it is what it is". I use it now to bring some semblance of acceptance to his departure in spite of how much it hurts.
How I loved him and love him still.
Joel was a treasured and loyal friend to so many of us: a brilliant, thoughtful, funny and stoic man with an extraordinary ability to offer encouragement & advice, or to tell a great joke or story. He will truly be missed.
Our sincere condolences to Kelly as well as the entire Tyler family.

Our deepest condolences to Kelly and the Tyler family. Growing up with Joel I can remember his sense of humor, his quick wit and his superior intelligence. From grade school thru high school Joel made his top grades look easy, and would help anyone who needed it. Although our contact was a phone call every year or so, it was great to catch up and hear his laugh. Will always have the fondest memories of Joel, Rest In Peace my friend.

Joel was a life long friend from our first meeting at St Luke’s to our travels in Australia and the yearly telephone call that started with Joel singing Happy Birthday. We will miss Joel’s humour. Kelly and the Tyler Family, I hope your pain is short and your memories are Joyous.

I am so sorry for your loss. For everyone's loss. He was a tremendous person and will leave a huge hole in the hearts of many, many people.
I have five younger siblings which I love dearly; Joel was one of them and now there are but four. His departure has created a hole in my universe and I am at a loss as to how to mend it. Jud, as those close to him called him, had a skill of comforting one's anxieties and closing the doors on life's avails with his smile, humor and laugh. My goodness but how we could all laugh! I miss him greatly. I hope his 'plain of existence' theory is valid and that I'll see him in the coming years when my turn comes about. What a heck of an existence that will be! My regards to Kelly, Jud's wonderful wife and companion, those of his remaining family and all his friends. Mike.
