Shocked and saddened, I don't know what to say. As Roberta mentioned, Joel stayed with my family and me during Thanksgiving, 1997. He was a bright, funny and engaging person, who could laugh loud, speak straight and mingle well. We used to play beeper tag through the email/internet systems.

Never knowing what to say at times like this, I always remember the scene from 'Arthur' when Dudley Moore was in the bar, after finding out John Guilgood's character was dying. Someone asked him why he was sad, and he said his father passed a way. The man said he was sorry, and Arthur replied, "Hey, I was lucky to have known him at all." That is the way I feel about Joel. Even with tears in my eyes, I WAS lucky to have known him at all.

May G-D bless his memory and spirit, and give his family strength and courage in their period of need.

Rick

Dearest Friends,

It is with the heaviest heart that I must share this email that I just received:

Mrs Sylvie KOMPANIETZ and her children, Paul-Adrien, Natacha and Pierre-Igor

regret to inform you that her husband and their father, Doctor Jol KOMPANIETZ OBGYN.net International Representative, FRANCE suddenly passed away on june 20th 1999.

Since Mrs KOMPANIETZ is unable to use Internet, if you wish to send her your sympathy, please write directly Mrs KOMPANIETZ. 20 rue Pasteur 41310 ST AMAND LONG PRE FRANCE or send it through the following address : hchegui@club-internet.fr which will transmit. Henri CHEGUILLAUME

Barbara, Bruce, and I are preparing a tribute to Joel on OBGYN.net. He was a very special person, wonderful doctor, and great family man. He stayed with us and Dr. Rick Chudacoff and family about a year and a half ago when he, Sylvie, and Paul-Adrien visited the United States.

Dr. Joel was part of the OBGYN.net family from the very beginning. His participation in the Women's Health Forum, OBGYN-L and in building the French resources up is well known among his colleagues and friends. Personally his wit, charm, and joy in life will always stand out in my memory. At this time I know no details of this tragedy. He was only 38 years old. Please join with us here at OBGYN.net in extending condolences to his family.

If you have anything you would like us to publish on his memorial page at OBGYN.net to be printed and sent to his family please send it to me by email so that we can include it when we post his memorial announcement on the website tomorrow.

I remain yours, Roberta
