"Answers questioned."
Joel Harold Horowitz, age 79 of Wayne, New Jersey died on Monday October 2, 2017.
Joel was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey and graduated from East Side High School. He continued his education and earned a Ph.D. from University of Georgia in 1975. He taught sociology at Columbus University Columbus, Georgia for 25 years when he retired. He became the department chair for many years and his exemplary teaching style earned him the teacher of the year award on more than one occasion. Joel was well known in town for establishing “Wednesday Night Live” where he facilitated lively discussions at a local restaurant with students and staff.
For all who knew Joel he had a knack for stimulating serious discussions which had people think and explore their beliefs and attitudes more thoroughly. As a result of his unique style a dear friend made up business cards and a hat for Joel with a tag line “answers questioned.”
Joel will be missed by many dear friends and relatives. He is survived by his sister Marcia Laky, her husband, Stephen Laky his nieces Diana Leu and her husband James Leu, Sandra Galdieri and her husband John Galdieri, two grand nephews, Tyler Leu and Xavier Galdieri and two grand nieces, Keira Leu and Cassidy Galdieri.
