DOWNEY-Funeral services for Joel Herbert Lubin, a longtime Downey resident and community l

served the City as a member of the Charter Review Committee. More recently he was appointed to 
the Cable-TV Advisory Committee and worked tirelessly to improve service. 
He brought a passion for the political process to whatever cause he championed, and will be sorely 
missed.
