Joey you are going to be missed very deeply, you made differences in people's lives. I never heard anybody have any thing bad to say about you. Joey it was just the opposite always high praise for your patient care as an EMT and later as a medic. I am sure you put just as much effort into BC Police and Foxborough Police. WE need more Joeys in the world, the world we would be a better place. Deep sympathy to the Marano family for their loss along with Somerville Fire Department, Boston College and Foxborough Police Department.
