Hey Joey,
Rest in Peace my good friend. It was great hanging around with you in the Mulfs and going fishing with you all over New York State during our younger days. Hope we meet again "upstairs".
To Patty and Linda,
Your brother had a good and adventurous heart. He was a great friend. My condolences on his loss. Every time I returned to Yonkers, I hoped I'd run into Joey (one time a few years ago I did in front of your house on Nepperhan Ave.Patty, , and we had a brief but great reunion)
