Fossaceca and Linda Roblyer.Joey was seven years old when he was so tragically taken from us.He made them smile and feel good inside.He loved to talk to people, even strangers, although he wasn?t supposed to.Joey loved music, often telling his mother and father that he wanted to be a rock star.After just a few lessons he was able to play ?Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star? on the piano using all his fingers.Joey had the ability to light up a room when he engaged you in conversation, often discussing his dogs and even the snake that his brother Matt found in the backyard.Tony and Lori are loving and devoted parents committing their lives to their three boys, from soccer games, family camping trips, piano lessons to just being there when they are needed.Lori, as a stay at home mother, committed herself to her children, the greatest gift they gave Joe.Joseph is a light that will never fade.He is loved by many and will be missed by all.We love you, Joey.Some favorite moments:Tony and Lori watching outside his room without his knowledge as he sings along to songs on the radio.At his brothers soccer games he would approach anyone that would listen to tell them about his dog Leo.Loved to go to the store with his father.His favorite saying ?Oh, I forgot?.
