The memory I will always have of Joey was his smile, it was contagious (BC Medic calls.) I later found out he grew up close friends with my son-in-law. May God comfort you and your family in this time of sorrow.

A friend who always felt like family, a laugh that spread joy like no other, and a dedication to help the many communities you were a part of. I will always treasure our friendship, and will remember all the little (and big) acts of kindness you brought my way. Most of all, I am so thankful that you brought your family into my life. Lori, Amanda, Justin, Eric, and Haley - they are the best gifts of all. Rest my friend, and then shine on all of your loved ones.

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.
