Such a shame when someone like this passes. I feel a loss in never meeting Joey. All the knowledge and stories
I'll never hear. For all of those who knew him, you have my Sincere Condolences... Garrett, thanks for what you
wrote of his life...

thank you everyone. i love the part of his obituary that goes:

"His sense of humor, hope, and optimism attracted many lifelong friends with whom he verbally sparred in fun."

now thats an obituary. That part is awesome. This is the kinda guy you want to meet and spend hours talking about cycles with. The world will definitely miss him as I am sure his freinds and family will. Ride on Joey.

after joey passed, i talked to his wife and ended up securing one of his bikes. its nothing crazy, but he loved it, and he painted it himself. I've ridden it about 10 miles so far and quite a different bike. i'm very happy to have been able to have something like this of his!

I never met the man, but feel he would have been a friend.
Rest In Peace Joey, the pain is over - and you're probably flying down some road up there with wings, not a bike!

Garret, sorry to hear of your loss, it sounds like the kind guy that if you knew him you were lucky to at least being able to have done so. I'm sure he's looking down smiling because one of his bikes went to someone he cared for dearly. Just know his suffering is over and keep your faith in God and someday you two can ride that great highway in the sky together. Your buddy, Ed
