Joey, your father was one of the most generous and gentle souls ever. Since you are his namesake, I think this will be passed on to you. He was any and everyones's best and close personal friend. His utmost concern was always someone elses happiness, and not his. If ever there was an angel on earth, it was him. Rest assured, what ever you think, he loved you more than anything else. Heaven is blessed to have another soul as big as his. Steven, I know you have a big loss too, you had the best brother in the world.
