Alyssa Ghilotti remembers Joey

I probably do not have as many or as funny of memories as those I have read and heard in the past few days but I still wanted to share my thoughts because Joey was such an amazing person. I still remember when I first met Joey, it was when I spent the night out at the Pinasco’s home, Joey was fifteen at the time. All I remember was how much he annoyed Adri, he would come into her room, taunt her, tease her, like any good brother would do. I spent many a phone calls listening to Adri telling me how much her brother was the favorite and that her brother could do know wrong, in her eyes. Somehow over the past few years Joey has gone form the annoying little brother to a confident man. Now when we talked about him we discussed his girlfriends and how much he was enjoying life.
We all got to witness this at Adriana’s wedding. It was such an amazing day, filled with so many smiles and laughter. It was so much fun to dance with Joey and to watch him dance with all the girls. I still smile as I stood back and watched him and my sister dance and he went to bend her back, and she went crashing to the floor. I smile because Joey could do something like that and it was adorable because he was adorable. I use the word vivacious to describe him because that is what his personality was. He went from the annoying little brother to the charming, respectable, man that everyone in the room wanted to be around.
One of the last times I was around Joey was at my wedding and my husband and I are so thankful he came, Joey added that extra something. He danced and smiled the entire night, my favorite picture from that night is of him playing the “air guitar”, Joey was awesome. When I think about my memories of Joey, I just keep thinking about how energetic he was, and of course how he was his mothers favorite. I just think that he must have been one of Gods’ favorites too and that is why he needed him so soon. I also think the family and the girls have the best guardian angel in the world watching over them.
People like Joey Pinasco should never be forgotten and will never be forgotten.
