Joey played football and was a standout baseball player for the Dragons. His ability to hit the ball earned him a scholarship at St. Gregory’s University. Joey worked a variety of jobs throughout the years. He was a roofer, spent some time testing soil and even worked as a bartender. Most recently, he worked as a nurses aid in home health.
Joey loved people and his compassion for others worked well with his abilities as a nurse.

Life at times wasn’t easy for Joey. He battled diabetes and other health issues, and he always managed to find his way. He was a loving father and son, brother, uncle and a great friend. He will be dearly missed!
