His love for the people of Gloucester and for our community is evidenced a hundred times a day through his commitment to Good Morning Gloucester. We who are GMG contributors are blessed to share in his passion.

    1. Many people had tears in their eyes after Amanda Donovan spoke–her story is sadly universal. I think what you wrote–that our community is very fortunate to have the Open Door, and all the people involved, could not be truer.

  9. Congratulations Joey! I haven’t lived in Gloucester long (2 years) but if it hadn’t been for GMG, you and the GMG contributors I would still be in the dark about amazing places on Cape Ann, where to eat, events, and all of the special people that live here. I thank you for that and I hope one of these days to be able to tell you that in person.

  12. Joey cleans up nice. I didn’t recognize him!

    Congratulations to Joey and all the recipients on this well-deserved honor. And thanks Julie at the Open Door. Recognizing community builders in our community with this award is such a great idea. Tremendous.
