My memory of Joey was 33 years ago when I was 21 years old. The minute we saw each other it was love at first sight. Even though life took us far apart we managed to reunite just recently and we were able to discuss our Long list feeling to each other. I'll never stop loving you joe you were kind and gentle and very talented. Until we meet again where we can be together for ever. I'll always hold you in my heart

My memory stems back to when I first met Joey at 21. I fell madly in love with him. And even though life pulled us far apart for many years , I never stopped loving him. He was a kind and funny guy with so much talent in Contracting. I wish this could've been different we were a dynamic couple. But thankfully I found him again recently and we wee able to express our long lost feelings fir each other after 33 years. We will meet again in another life and things will be better for both of us and we will be together for ever.
