Stop Means Stop Or Someone Can Die

My Gather  friends know I lost a cousin on New Years Eve in a car accident. I just found out yesterday he was taken from us because someone decided they didn't have time to stop for a stop sign.

Joey was celebrating his 50th birthday on New Years Eve, He and his friends were working on a project at his home. Needing to run to the store He and his his friends jumped in his car for the short ride. His friends wife drove and Joey jumped in the backseat of his very own car. Little did he know it would be the last time he'd return home. The car plowed into the passenger side of Joeys car hitting only him.

Noone else was hurt and Joey was prounounced brain dead on New Years day.

Unexpectedly on Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008. Beloved son of the late Joseph, Sr. and Barbara Rosella; loving brother of Frances Guastaferro, JoAnn (David) Likavec and the late Ronald Florian. Joe worked for Kane Regional Hospital for over 32 years where his compassion and dedication to his co-workers and residents shined through daily. Joe continued his giving ways through organ donation.
