Joel Rieman

We just learned that Christine’s cousin, Joel Rieman, had suddenly passed away recently. He was 29, with a birthday on Sepember 4th, so almost a year older than her. We are shocked by this, and our hearts and prayers go out to Suly and Doug Rieman and the rest of the clan.

I remember meeting him a few times, most notably at our wedding a few years ago. For me, he was a good-natured, funny, witty personality and he was an instantly memorable guy. He created quite an impression on me right off the bat. Christine says he was entertaining, caring, a good listener and fun to be around.

To Joel: We will miss you terribly!

    Note to all: I haven’t found a picture of Joel (and family) to put on the entry. I just have a photo from our wedding album, and I can’t take it out of there without ruining it. I’m looking in my collection for any other photos, but if you find a good pic of him, send it to me and I’ll post it. Thanks!
