I'm so sorry and sad to hear of Joey's passing. Growing up with Joey and always full of laughter. I clearly remember a weekend when he, his cousin Tom and a few others came to Ohio State for a visit. To say the least, it was a weekend none of us will forget...we actually talked about it every time I saw Joey. Rest my friend.

I can not imagining not seeing Joe around Geneva some place. He was always working, planting something. He left behind a lot of beautiful settings with his beautiful plantings. And you were always smiling. So, I knew you enjoyed what ever you were doing.
God bless you Joe.

To the family and dearest friends of Joey, Sending deepest condolences. I remember Joey to be such a sweet friend and familiar face of the Finger Lakes most beautiful areas. You could always see him somewhere outdoors hard at work. His family owned business was a legendary staple of what great communities are built. His lifelong friendships are a symbol of the kind of person we all should emulate. May you rest in Forever Paradise Joey

when we were kids growing up Joey lived down the street from us and we had fun times - we could not help but laugh each time we ran into one another growing up - and today my yard is full of many trees he has planted - I'll see you later my friend

I'm very sorry for your loss. Joe was a good guy. I took very good care of him when he lived at Horizons. I'm glad I was able to help him when we were in the observation unit at FFTH. IM glad that I got to see him one last time. I sure will miss him when I get back to work.
