Joey and I were childhood friends growing up. We both lived on lake Norman and went to the same high school. One day Joey was riding home with me from school, and a car in front of us hit a dog and left the dog in the middle of the road. I urged Joey to jump out of my car and move the dog. The dog snapped at him and tried to bite him. I don't know how Joey managed it, but he got that dog off the road safely. We laughed about that so many times. He was always so kind and humble. I was fortunate enough to meet his beautiful wife at our 20th high school reunion. My thoughts and prayers go out to Yvette, his kids and extended family. I know he will be missed. RIP my friend.
