Joey and I first met when we were 7 or 8 years old. He was one of my dearest friends throughout our time at Millville and even though life took us different directions, we kept in contact through the years. I am heartbroken over the news of his passing. Joey was a true friend, who always brought laughter and joy with him wherever he went. He is someone who I will never forget and made a huge impact in my life. I will always cherish the countless memories we made together. Rest easy Mr. Ben-jammin'
Your friend,
"Jasper"

Joe and I were hired in at iChiro at similar times. And we worked together for nearly 6 years. Joe was always happy, always smiling, always checked in, always looked for ways to make someone else's day better. He was a great co-worker, and I enjoyed learning and growing with him in the years we spent together. The world does seem a little darker because he is gone. Rest in peace Joe. Prayers to your family during this time of heart break. May the Lord surround them with His perfect peace.

What can I say about Joe... he was always positive. Whenever I was down he would have words to pick me up.

I always adored Joe and even felt like I made a difference in his life when I set up his dating profile online and he met a great woman, I enjoyed hearing how great she was and how happy he become. I often laughed with him and loved getting to know about him, I even pulled him from i-chiro to work with me again at massage envy so we can be co workers again. He is such a joy. He will be missed -Chardé

We were sitting outside in the middle of the night, watching the sky, talking about the stars. I never forgot that moment.

Joe was my brother's guest brother when Patrice spent his year abroad at the Benjamin's house. We used to write us letters without really knowing each other. That is nearly 30 years ago.
