Joe, I always told you to slow down. You may not have been 6'3", but your heart was. I will never forget carrying your casket into the church almost 23 years ago.
You are not forgotten to me or the members of the Task Force.
Until His second coming,
Spoon

Joey- I remember like it was yesterday growing up together in Bayside, going to PS 203 and Cardozo HS. You always had a smile and a laugh. I remember my surprise at seeing you in the Police Academy when I was just graduating and you were just starting. You were a great guy and I haven't forgotten you.

Joey,
I remember the day you became a police officer and how proud we were of you! I remember the lecture my Dad gave you when he found out you were "on the job" (and I am sure he is giving you a lecture right now). All is well here but we miss you and NYC needs you. God bless you and your family! David
