He was an avid reader. He loved comic books, travel, movies, music and tv shows. Above all else he loved his family. He had a sharp wit and fantastic sense of humor. His jokes and quick comebacks made for entertaining banter. His unique view point and chronic need to play devils advocate made conversations lively and stimulating. Our Joely is and always will be an important person to many people, and have a significant role in many social and family circles. He will be loved, remembered and missed by too many people to count. His wife and his children adore him. He was a husband, father, and buddy to his family. We love and miss you Joely. Rest in wonder and in peace.
