Joe and I went to HS together and had not seen each other for a very long time. We happen to meet in of all places Kohls. We did not talk long but it was if time had not past. I learn of his death from one of the girls working on our 50th reunion. He will be so very much missed. He was loved by all.
Thinking of Joe and his family. Lorraine

I met Joey many years back when he came to my house to pick up items to be donated to charity and help with delivery. I have come to know him and the family as caring, and welcoming family. He and Bern showed the world how to love no matter life throws at you. Thank you Joey!
