Joey always had a smile on his face and loved helping everyone, especially family.  He was a talented cook, the best spinach pies you've ever had, often making them for family and friends.  Joey was patient and kind and loved animals.

Joey is loved and will be missed by all who knew him.  Family and friends will get together at a later date, due to current covid conditions, to celebrate his life.
