My heart is truly breaking at the loss of such a wonderful person. Joey & I went to church together for many years & I built a friendship with not only him but Danny & William also. We had lost touch over the years but anytime I ran into him, he always had a smile & a hug for me. Joey was an amazing person & his faith in the Lord was as great as his love for his family & friends. He will truly be missed.
