Thank you, Joel. I was 21 working in a restaurant in Providence, RI. A coworker said he knew a guy in Fort Lauderdale that might hire me and gives me Joel's number. I call this guy Joel with pure excitement! Speak with him for a bit and he says "Come on down, I'll pick you up at the airport. " I worn a specific shirt so he would see me at the airport. He and Ginny pick me up at the airport in a Jaguar! I Love Jaguars! What!?.... Lol...So we get to his house which was on the waterway and he had a 2nd house right on the water.  He gave me the first floor apt. The houses were fixer-uppers so my job was right there! And at night the jungle queen and other yatchs would drive by...21 years old living on the intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale...and at night...boats all lit up.Him and I also went to California and I was a deckhand on a sailboat charter to the Bahamas I will never forget...So many more stories I could write...I eventually went my own way and spent 22 years in Fort Lauderdale and it was Awesome and just a blast! I can truly say I have No Idea what my life would have been like without the chance he took on me And gave me. And let's not forget Spotty. He was Joel's little terrier dog...

I was sitting at work on break and just happened to think of Joel so I looked him up...some of the memorial pictures brought back so many memories. I believe he was at 651 Coconut Dr for a few months before he hired me...Lol....

Thank you so very much Joel Jenison. Thank you. 😇

My sincere condolences to you Ginny...
