Joel was born March 28, 1943, in Potsdam, NY to Louis and Rose Greenblatt. He grew up with his older brother, Sam, and younger brother Matt. Joel attended Rochester Business Institute. At RBI he met Shirley after noticing her on bus trips back to their respective homes. He finally got the nerve to ask her name and went on a date. Thereafter, in his words, they danced their lives away. Joel worked for Two Guys and McCurdy's until he decided to go into business himself. In 1970 Joel and his wife, Shirley, purchased and operated the Town Pump General Store for 9 years. From 1979 to today Joel and Shirley created and operated Town Pump Recycling. In his spare time, Joel enjoyed snowmobiling and swimming in the pool.
