p>Joseph \”Joey\” Yoroshko IV, 28 years of Mullica Hill, N.J., died suddenly on February 16, 2008. Joey was a fun-loving, spontaneous guy who was full of smiles and laughter. He was a wheeler and dealer and was known for his bartering ways. Joey had a way of telling stories that made people listen to him; the more he told them, the bigger and better the stories got.
