RE: Joel Deregla (Class of 1987)
born December 3rd 1969 and passed on October 18th 2006

To any Monroe high school alumni from 1984-89 that may have known him.

I am sorry to announce the death of my good and close friend Joseph deregla.

I talked with him on the 17th of October 2006 and he passed away on the 18th of October 2006 and I was devastated to find out that I lost a great and close best friend with so many memories of high school from 1984 up to the present time late 2006."the best of times"

we managed to keep in contact over 20 years as we shared many memories from back in the day that can never be taken away..

Joel was fun to be around from varsity football to classroom jokes which I can remember to this day as well as off the campus where the real unforgettable times where great through the years..

Joel always recorded VHS tapes from our high school years "many of them and countless hours all the way up to the present time including audio tapes and many of us had the privilege to be on them which created great memories with many people associated with his family friends and of course his personal keepsakes .

Joel has 3 beautiful children that I have the privilege to know and watch grow and a legacy that will be zestfully alive.... we will miss Joseph deregla as I know he is watching all of us that made an impact in his life and I will never forget our personal memories that actually were some of the best times I ever got to take part in throughout our years.

I remember telling Joel that our 20 year reunion was coming up and I know he would have liked to physically be there but in spirit he will definitely be there to share in our celebration as he is celebrated now and forever and he will never be forgotten from our hearts.

take care my friend may you rest in peace..

I don't know if you have an obituary section on the Monroe site, but if so I would like to report the death of Janis Nelson Hunt on March 24, 2006 at her home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She was 62 years old and the class of 1961. She is survived by her husband Bob and two children, Julie and Christopher.
