Joey was a wonderful person well loved by all who knew him - a terrible desease has taken him from us.

When we were 17, we thought life would go on forever. We were untouchable. Today, I know that we are not untouchable, and life does not go on forever. That was such a wonderful time, all we wanted to do was have fun. We would go anywhere for a good time and do anything to get there. My mind is flooding with great memories. My mother used to call you her "4th son". She loved when you came home with me after school. You used to hang her bread on that plant hook, it really cracked us up. We were all just a bunch of free spirits looking for a way to have fun. It was a great time in life. We never know how we impact others; but, we all do. Our life is only complete because of all of the people we share it with. My memories would be incomplete, without Joe LaBella. All of us who knew him, were blessed.
