Joey was raised in Brooklyn, NY, and later moved to Western New York. In 1981, he obtained his Auto Mechanic Certificate and also received his CDL in 1986.

Joey was an avid fisherman and an excellent cook. He also was a talented handyman, landscaper and automotive tech. He had a love for music and enjoyed singing, as well as playing the keyboard. Above all, Joey cherished the time spent with his family, especially his children, who will miss him greatly.
