Alan Glatman, who grew up with Joel, informed us of Joel's passing. Joel was a volunteer Fireman with the Fair Harbor Fire Dept. and died of a heart attack while working out at the gym.
He is survived by his wife Wendy and 2 children.
From The New York Times:
DRILLINGS-Joel. The Fair Harbor Fire Dept. mourns the loss of our brother firefighter, Joel Drillings. He was loyal and dedicated and loved by his friends. Our hearts go out to his wife, Wendy, to Josh, and Lea, and to his inlaws, former Fire Commissioner, Bill Manowitz and his wife, Joanne. We will miss him.

I remember Joel well as we both lived in Parkchester during our education at James Monroe. Joel was an extremely decent and fine person. His friendship meant alot to me during those years and I am sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest regards to his family
