He is survived by a brother Jack Graham/ Lucie and sisters Carole Konner, Frances Padula/ Jerry as well as several nieces and nephews. His girlfriend Cathy Mollo and his many, many friends. In addition to his well loved cats..
His family knew him as a loving, smiling and always hugging human being. He cared about people in the purist way. He loved them for who they were, wished the best for them without expecting anything in return.
He will be remembered on the 4th of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving and other times that we gathered as a family where much love and laughter was shared.
Highlights he treasured was going to Baseball Fantasy Camp in Florida for one week being coached by Tommy Lasorda and other great old time Dodger players. Another was to to see the Dodgers play at Dodgers Stadium in California.
He was so excited to be part of the Dodgers.
His regrets were few. One of which was having to use skim milk when no one remembered to bring regular milk for him.
When you look up in the sky and see the brightest shinning star, that will be Joey smiling down on you.
R I P Joey, we love and miss you.
