“To the Joyal Family, Our deepest condolences and prayers are with you. Rod Joyal was a beloved teacher and friend who touched our family in many ways. Chau Vu, his former student (Jefferson Elementary, 1975-76), remembers his inspiration. Thuy recalls his kindness when she babysat Todd and Melissa. I, Thao, cherish my friendship with Missy and the warmth of their home. Our late parents, Chuong and Le, deeply appreciated Rod’s kindness. The Vu Family”
