“Joey” the man who always wanted to help people either by building houses in Mexico or giving speeches to the Sacramento State Accounting students or helping his fellow colleagues. He had a heart and smile that would warm the soul. Once you met him you were now family. He was always smiling and telling jokes. Joe shared his abundance of knowledge about finance and investing. He would hold his grand-babies on his lap and tell them how the stock-market was doing that day. He always tried to make life fun for everyone around him.
