The Alpert side of the family is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Joel. I have many memories of Joel from my youth days of running thru the back of the bakery of both Joel and Herbie from when my father Howie used to work there. Condolences to everyone. These are times where I wish we lived closer to NJ to offer condolences in the proper manner at shiva.
