Aunt Chris, Serena, Vinny, Johnny & Family - Joey was one of a kind. Looking back, he possessed a depth I think few of us understood growing up in our circle of "the boys of North Buffalo." He made our circle complete - filling it with is passion, his loyalty to his friends, and his zest for life. He was a cornerstone in my adolesence and lives on in some my best memories. Onward Joey, and upward. Shine On, brother!
