I was fortunate to have known Joey. I am also happy we shared the highway a few times on our bikes. I've always had tremendous respect for this 'man amongst men'. R.I.P. my friend.

So very sad to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hughes family. I have some great memories of Joey and I'll always remember his quick wit and humor. I remember him being Santa at our Christmas Eve open house and singing The Righteous Brothers. Can't listen to My Soul and Inspiration without thinking of him! RIP, Joey. You will be missed.
