JJoel Canestrino (Hazera Seeds Onion Breeder & W2008 Secretary) passed away this weekend due to heart failure. He had two open heart surgeries in the past due to a bad heart valve. I realize you all might not been too privy to who Joel was, but he was a great man and know you all did have some interactions with him at some point. He is survived by three children, his mom and two brothers, one of which was an identical twin.
