We are so to hear about Joey, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of great sadness. We have not seen Joey in many years, but we can still picture that young boy with the beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes with a sling hair style just like his big brother. May he find rest and peace in the arms of Jesus. In HIS love, Barbara & Charlotte

Joey, I am going to miss hearing your music playing loud before I see you. Hearing your laugh. Your fussing at me about watching my soaps. When you liked watching that crazy wrestling. One of the hardest thing I have already notice is not seeing your light on in your house. Our family is forever changed you are going to be truly missed. Also one thing I remember is your always telling me you loved me before leaving my house like every time you saw Earl and me. I know you are at peace and in no pain. I know you are with Sheila and Nanny and I bet you are having a great time. We sure have had a lot of wonderful family times together that I will always cherish. I know we will see one another again until then know I love you! Your Sister In Law

Uncle Joey, I wish I could hug you and tell you I love you one last time. While my heart hurts that I can´t do that right now, I know that I will again one day. I know you are reunited with Nanny and Aunt Sheila and your pain of missing them is finally gone. I will miss your laugh, your hugs and your sense of humor. I will remember you always.
