Joey's death is made bearable in the reassuring knowledge my fondest memories of childhood and teen years are associated to him and all the fun we had together. A spirited individual now in the light of eternity, his being in memory remains as I hear now the musical sound we shared.

Joe & I started music together in 1965. started by learning on 10 dollar Well's Dept. store guitar's and sang Beatle song's into broom sticks. he was my best friend, and my bandmate for many years. Joe was a natural and one of Lima's best entertainer's. Had an uncanny ability to listen to songs and figure out the cord progression and vocal patterns to a variety of genres of music. play for the angels Joe...they will love it as much as we did.

I was a year ahead of Joe in school, and I wanted to be Joe because he was so cool.He kind a looked like Dion and had a natural charisma.He was the only kid I ever knew that actually wore blue suede shoes, although to be accurate they were blue suede Beatle boots.Joe had a great smile and was a natural performer and I got to play in one band with him.Joe will be missed and not forgotten but heavens band just added a heck of a guy. Probably chatting with Lennon and Harrison and swapping licks with B.B.,
