July 18, 2023 at 12:51 amI remember first meeting Joey at a performance at Arnold’s. We were recruiting fresh music for the Rootwire Festival. Impressed with his playing, along with his mates, we all met up aftershow. I became his friend that night, as did many who would meet him later. That’s how many will remember him. Friend.
We should all be so blessed…
RIP Friend.
Papa JQ

July 20, 2023 at 2:27 amI got to meet Joey through Patrick. Whenever I went over Joey was always up to hang out with us, play video games, in a way he really was a “big brother” role model to me. He was funny, had his share of fun, but always showed love and compassion to his family and friends. He truly was a good soul and I look back on these fond memories with a smile. Rest easy Joey and thanks for always being there.
