Beyond heartbreaking. Those of us from Easton, Pa. who've known and loved you all these years, are in shock. We'll miss you forever, ya Joey. When you called me from your hospital bed two days before the surgery to thank me and "the Easton guys" for our prayers, I couldn't believe it and laughed you would do that, but now I'm grateful to God we spoke and I'll cherish that conversation, forever. Rest in Eternal Peace and May Perpetual Light Shine Upon, my brother. I'm never going to forget you, ya Joey.
