Joey I can't believe you are no longer with me. My heart is broken. We have been through the good and the bad since elementary school. I was so proud of who you grew to be and always knew you could and would be. I've lost my best friend who was there no matter what. I know you are in a better place and are at peace but still wish I could have at least said bye or just spoken with you one last time. I don't know what to do now I still catch myself dialing your number in my phone when something exciting happens waiting for your cheerful voice to say hey babe. You were an angel on earth and I know you are an even better angel in heaven. Prayers go out to nick and family. You now have another guardian angel watching over you! He is gone but will NEVER be forgotten. Memories will last forever it's just gonna take some time to realize and get used to not having you there to do my hair and reminisce about the "old days" and laugh for hours. You were truly one in a million. Love you forever and always

I just discovered today about Joseph's passing. I'm very shocked to hear this news. I was a client of his and image hair salon and saw him a few times a year and throughout the neighborhood occasionally. I always enjoyed seeing him and exchanging life stories and theorizing about things. There was something so bright and special about him and I am saddened by this news. My condolences to his family and close friends.

We loved our dear friend Joseph . We will never forget how we used to keep his room ready and our house for the times when we spent too much time in Center City and he would come over and spend the night so that we could give them a ride to his aunts in Westchester . Rest in peace sweet Prince.
