Joel had become a good friend for my son Marcel (badfinger.deviantart.com/journ⦠). They only knew about deviantart. New Year's Eve 2008 they wanted to spend together in America with my second son. Unfortunately my son died in June 2008. I then had short time contact to Joel and was deeply impressed by him. As often as I think of the friendship of the two, I also visit Joel's side.

I'm so sorry for your loss as well. I'm glad we both got to talk to Joel at least once.

I imagine Joel and Marcel have long since met where they are now. And I believe that they are doing well.
Best regards!

I suspected this too. Β I am really sad to see it confirmed. Β I haven't been here in a while, but followed a link of another friend's work, and as I always have done when here, checked Joel's site. Β I read and communicated with him on another site, and whenever I got an email that he had posted a new image, I felt a rush of excitement. Β His characters and his development and interaction of them, were wonderful. Β When we corresponded, we wrote mostly about his work. Β I didn't know him really well, but I miss his presence in my life. Β I miss his humor, and miss reading new work from him very much. Β I am a longtime fan of rereading favorite works, and I will be rereading his many times. Β
Thank you for posting the obituary link.Β

It still hurts. I knew him well; we chatted almost every day and then he was just... gone. I came back to look at his page again today since I know his birthday just passed (June 30). Wish I knew him better, though.Β I learned a lot about story-telling from him. His stories are terribly underrated. If only the world knew!
You're welcome.

For those who do not know, here is Joelglaine 's obituary. tnobit.tributes.com/show/Gary-β¦ It took me a long time to find it, but there it is.
I still can't believe it. And I wish I had known sooner.Β The last I'd heard, at the end of 2010, Joel was in not such a good condition. My guess is that he'd ended up in the hospital for a few weeks afterward and finally passed away in January.
This is really rough. And I still can't believe it. If anyone here wants to talk about Joel, send me a PM or just say it here.
Rest in peace, Joel. I'm gonna miss you, you old fart. And I'll always be back here to re-read your stories. They are the best.

For 5 years i had suspected this... now i know.
Thank you for posting the obituary link.

You're welcome, dearie.Β
I'll never really be over this. There wasn't much of a chance to say goodbye.
But I'm glad you were his friend, too.

I logged in today to see how he fared and was horrified to read this.Β
Thank you for sharing the fate of the missing artist; may his posts forever stand in tribute to his artistry!
And bless you and the others who kept coming back to his empty page to wish him good tidings!

Oh god....its official then....
I was giving Joel money to live 4 years ago, paying him for his beautiful Poser art, then my Mum found out and forbid me from paying him any more...
-sigh- to think I could have made a difference T_T
Well, I still have Poser, and I will continue to use it, in memory of him. What a great guy he was... rest in peace my old friend...
Part of me really wants to take one of his characters and use it in my story, or hell even continue writing his story, he deserves as much....

I wish I knew where he was going with the Four Sisters. He kept telling me the story was going to get pretty good.
I'm sure you made a difference in his down days. It just sucks that he started going downhill after he started getting his welfare checks. I'm probably gonna use some of his story concepts and ideas in my story. What I want to do is make his whole Four Sisters story available for easy reading on a blog like Tumblr or somewhere else. He does deserve as much.
Couldn't believe it when I found out. Felt so empty that day. He was a good friend and he taught me so much about story-telling.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, well I'm sure if enough effort was put into analyzing the story we could learn about where he was going with it and possibly even finish it off for him.
Yeah? That's a good idea, once you get it up somewhere let me know won't you? I mean, it would take a while to search through his entire gallery for each page.
I think I felt more dreary acceptance than emptiness really, like I'd already more or less gathered that he had died, I just hadn't seen proof until yesterday. I'll miss him a lot too.

If you guys do a tribute/finish of his work, please post a link back here so others can find it.
I can't stop crying. It's just so unfair.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I think what would be nicest would be for us all to make a tribute to him together.
Chin up, Joel's not gone, he's still a part of us. He wouldn't want us to cry over his loss -hugs- we'll never forget him and, wherever he is, he won't ever forget us. And who knows, maybe someday we'll meet him again in a different life. -pats your back-

It's hard to argue with an adorableΒ little green fox
It's just so weird, but I'm sure I don't have to tell you that...
Going to take time before I can start sorting through his collections and help start cataloging everythingΒ - I liked that idea and would like to help out once I can see his stuff and keep dry eyes.
Gotta love/hate that about the internet: the man may be gone but part of the soul lives on in the machine.

Heh, well I guess I should say that these days Xela here is more of a mascot and I created a new character to self insert into, but this icon is so gosh darned cute I can't bring myself to change it XD (which is odd considering it isn't even correct, he has blue shorts not green)
These days I am Alex Magnei, who I also created in Poser back in the day, but if you're unfamiliar here: i.gyazo.com/cf7a5fd32b0933a50f⦠basically myself living in a utopian future world. I'll send you a note to tell you more!
Yeah, I understand man, I'll be glad to see it all once you've categorized it!
I meant he's with us in our memories! I mean it certainly is nice that we can look back and physically see our interactions in the past, but that's not quite what I meant.

Wow, it's been four-and-a-half years since I've heard from you. So much has happened, Joel. So much has happened.

Happy B-DAY, mayun! I didn't know when your birthday was until started panicking about missing it!
I don' have much, but here's a cake!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thankies! That's fine! I ended up celebrating it a day early with chickenz and stuff, so anytime this week is fine.
When I was born, I was too young to know or care, so I try to reflect that when I celebrate it!

Hey man, Happy Belated Birthday!
Sorry I didn't get around to it sooner. I've been stupid busy lately and didn't get any internet time yesterday.
But I did make you one cookie! See?
I hope you had a good one.

It was great! People cleaned up my apartment, and I had a chicken dinner!WOOHOO! I got my chair fixed,too.
The Poser screwed up and won't save or render. SO I don't know what to do now.
π: 0 β©: 1
YAY!! ...Ooohhhh... That was my reaction.
I'm glad you had a fun day! 
I've got a way to cheer you up a bit, Joel. Just you wait.

I found out I can do renders, but cannot save ANYTHING! WTF?
I'll take a look when I post the episode.

Hey man! I heard you got Poser to working again!
Oh hang on, lemme explain myself!
normally lets me know about whats going on with all her Deviant buddies (since I'm just on the other side of the room) and she told me about all the insane weather up in Tennessee! I'm glad you were in a fallout building!
She also informed me about how your Poser had crashed! I was like
But I'm glad you got it running again!
Anywho, I also heard about how flooded it got up where you used to live! I can recall it flooding real bad in Texas at one time. It almost swept away my little step-sister! At least she thought it was funny at first until she saw the look on her Dad's face after he saved her!
Other than that, I hope nobody in your neighborhood got swept away!

It was catastrophic here. 39 people died. A tornado hit just outside the building and tore some buildings up. We lost power for almost two days and lost internet on Sunday morning when the place where the servers went underwater when a levee broke and flooded part of town.
Right now, a lot of Nashville is wrecked, especially near the river, but I'm fine and my building survived without a scratch. I've power and internet, so I'm doing pretty damned good!

I'd say! So what are ya gonna do now?
