Joel Morris was a lifelong educator. Joel first shared with his family that he had Parkinson's in 2010. He was one of the lucky few who did not show obvious symptoms for many years. He spent some of this time educating this community about Parkinson's Disease and managing the symptoms including running a local support group in the Elmhurst, IL area.

However, as his disease progressed Joel found that he needed additional care for his increasing symptoms and dementia. He found a caring facility where he could live with his disease and continue to educate those around him. Obituary can be found at Pederson Ryberg Funeral Home (Elmhurst, IL) web page.
