Im sick to my stomach knowing your gone. You will really be missed. I have so many good memories of you like the time I couldn't get you to stop partying out back and I threw you a blanket out my window and sat outside by the fire with you all night and had a heart to heart. Miss you Joe.- Michele Barry (mum mum)

Joey was great to grow up with. I will always remember playing baseball and football "down the park" in Swarthmorewood. Joey was the toughest and funniest kid in the neighborhood. Rest in Peace

Joey--It's a sad day--Your crazy antics always made me laugh. We made many fond memories and much laughter together. One funny memory was when K.W,J.Y., me and Joey went to the 202 drive in and Joey along with Jonathan were shoved in the trunk of Kim's camaro, while the tires were put in the back seat. What a blast we had that night. Many will miss you!
Rest in Peace My Friend X.O.
