We were saddened to read about Joel's death in this morning's SUN. We appreciated his good humor, kindness, and gentle manner. He was a gentleman, easy with a smile and a welcoming hand. We send our sincerest condolences to Christina and family and we wish for those warmest memories to surface and sustain.

To my dear friend Joel with whom I shared many good times. Lot's of kidding around the fourth green too. You will surely be missed from my future life; although I do hope to meet you again in the peaceful and painless realms of Heaven.
Love, Allan

Joel had a big heart with endless love for Cris and the kids.
Last year for Thanksgiving , we flew from Argentina together with our cousins Christian and Sylvine Pell. We had a wonderful celebration at the Stuart home.
It was very important for Joel that Cris had her side of the family close by as we cannot see each other often. He was so happy watching her share family stories that it meant the world to him.
He thanked us for being there but it was us, the guests, who were grateful for taking part of the celebration.
That’s just who he was. A loving husband and father, kind, great sense of humor and a true friend.
Dear Joel: may the Lord hold you in the palm of his hand.
All our love to the family.

Joel and I were good friends at East High School in Denver. I had little contact with him during his service in the Navy. In 1965, when I heard he was finally coming home, I contacted his parents and offered to have him room with me in the dormitory at CSU for his first year in college. That was a typical year of fun and laughs with Joel. The next year we both moved off campus. Joel ended up getting married, and I finally graduated.
Once he left for Arizona, and then, to South America, we had little contact over the next 50 years, but each time we talked it was like any great friendship, lots of stories, laughs, and memories of the days in school. That is the result of having a true friend. My heart goes out to the entire Stuart family. I too will miss him greatly, especially his humor. I know our faith will allow us to cross paths once again.

We would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the Stuart family. Kathryn and I have fond memories of spending time with Joel and Cris at the Playas beach house. Nobody could barbecue better than Joel! He will be greatly missed.
Lots of Love,
Andy and Kathryn Field
