Wow.
Never knew the guy, but definitely a legend.
Thanks for making NLG what it is.

May you hit all the progressives up there!

Sorry to hear this fu*** bad news  :no: :no:

My condolences to the family from France.

It is on NLG that I have learned so much and everything since 2012, when I started this passion for slot machines.

RIP Joey.

I was SO very sad to hear the news of Joey's passing. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

I have not been on this site much in many years. I've popped in a couple times here and there
and have seen the various posts on FB. I've always felt NLG has been part of my "extended family."
That is largely because of Joey as well as many of the other wonderful folks who've been a part of
and helped make NLG as great as it is.

I never met Joey in person. I told my wife several times that we were going to go to a 4th of July
event at "headquarters" one day but life got in the way and we never made it.

I did talk to Joey many times both over the phone and via chat back when we had the dreaded website
crashes & switchover. I can say that he was very dedicated to the cause here. When he started this gig,
I don't think he knew just how big & far it would go but by the time the sh*t hit the fan he was all about
keeping it going.

I found NLG, I think like most people, because I was having a problem with a machine and was freaking out
cause I didn't know what to do to fix it. I made a post of my "desperation" only to find out that my problem
was not only a common one but super simple to fix. Several guys jumped in to help me out and of course there
was some poking fun at the newbie action as well but I was SO relieved to get my machine fixed.

After my "christening", I found myself spending a significant amount of time on the website. Anything I know,
I learned here. Listen to the guys with grey hair...they know what they're talking about! Now I find myself
the one with the grey hair. I found NLG to be a great place of camaraderie, brotherhood, & welcoming to
everyone.

Joey had a bead on people. For some reason he brought me in. Despite my random "rant" posts and being
a newbie I found myself inducted into the club. He even created a title for me. He trusted me with behind the
scenes info and administrative access. Joey knew he couldn't do it all on his own but also knew to choose his
help wisely. To that end, I don't know why he chose me, someone who he's never even met,  but I couldn't
have been more proud to be part of such a great team with a great leader. It literally was a pleasure to do
anything I could to help.

I cannot fathom how devastating his loss is to his family and my heart breaks for them. I can say that the
legacy he left is amazing. He definitely left his footprint on the world. He has touched a countless number
of people both directly and indirectly. There is no doubt that he helped make the world a better place.

God speed to you my friend. You will be dearly missed!



Thank God for Friends!!!

I can’t believe the posts that are coming in. It is absolutely AMAZING how many people that JOEY, and the NLG family have, and still are touching. It’s hard to go on the site, EVERY TIME, I do it takes me 45 minutes to post 5 sentences. I’m spending more time wiping the tears from my face so I can see the screen to post something. It took me over an hour to finish reading TJKELLERS  post, because of the tears. He said it ALL. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN NLG FAMILY FOR YOUR KINDNESS & ASSISTANCE.

Terrible news during terrible times.  Joey was the first person I spoke to in 2005 when I bought my wife her first 809 EM.  He was a gentleman and encouraged me to join this group.  I have been a member ever since.  Only a few weeks ago I called up the shop as I was having trouble helping a new member to join and asked to speak with him.  I was simply told that he was not in.  Tragic!

PLEASE be vigilant about protecting yourself and your family.  Rest in peace old friend.

This is shocking news, Scotty, your father was a great asset to this industry and a big hearted and loved man. He had built NLG from the ground up and was able to help so many near and far. That says a lot about  the man. I started out on this sight many years ago to just learn about the two slot machines that I had just purchased and how they work. I have 10 now and thanks to Joey, he said you can never have enough. He also was the first person that told me he was going to make me a Supporting Vendor. For someone who just had a hobby of making unique slot machine/game room décor. He believed in me before I did my own self. Now it has always continued to just be a hobby but I will forever be in his depth for being the first one. I never met Joey and have met Jay and Stat freak and as I, they will carry on Joey's Legacy.  My prayers are with you and your family. He will be dearly missed.
   Sincerely; Scott Reese

So sorry for your loss. I met Joey a couple of times going to Bullhead and stopped into the shop. Only one word for this site, and what Joey did for all of us slot hobbyist, is just STELLAR. No other site like this anywhere, with all the knowledge and friendships. He will be missed. Prayers and healing to the family.

I am so sad to read this news, my condolences to you all.  Joey was a great guy and tremendous resource, so glad I was able to meet him in person and visit the shop.   Sucks that I wasn’t able to make it back out since. 

NLG has been a second family to many, and by far the best resource for slots, all thanks to this incredible guy.  Sadly I stepped away for a few years for health reason, and finally looking to get caught up and back into NLG world but shocked when I read this post.   We all know that COVID sucks, and keeps impacting all of our lives.

I’m so sorry for your loss,  you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Scotty, its been weeks now since you told me about your dad, I've wanted to post, but I'm still at a loss of words. In the short time of being a slot tech in Laughlin, I made a few friends, but none as helpful as you and your Dad. The first time I met you guys was when you were moving from the old store to the present location, just down the street from where I live. He was tossing out a couple machines, I asked if I could have them to practice on and next thing I knew you were loading them in the truck for me.  Friends made. Thru out the next months I would stop in for advice, trade parts or just B.S. I loved his stories of being a slot tech back in the day at the Belle or Edgewater, they taught me a lot, like who I could trust in the cut throat world of Casinos (nobody), what to watch for, things you could get away with and things you couldn't. His knowledge of gaming machines astounded me. How could someone possibly keep all that info inside 1 brain, it, he, was amazing. We had a lot in common, love of mechanical objects, guns, Ham Radio, Trump, a downright cool guy. I remember last summer when the riots were going on all over the country, making plans to defend the store if needed and how we would go about it.  I miss talking to him. I know you've learned a great deal from him and was glad when you told me you were planning on keeping the store open and running it. It's what he would have wanted and I think you're going to be successful at it. I'll keep coming by, buggin ya, but I want you to know if there is ever anything you need that I can help you with, just let me know, I'm right down the street. RIP Joey

I'm sorry to admit it, but I don't frequent NLG as much as I used to, so I wasn't aware of Joey's passing.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends on his loss.  I met him once while on vacation in Las Vegas, probably ten or more years ago. (Have a pic somewhere of myself in front of the shop).  He let me look around, talked shop, and hooked me up with some NLG gear (I still have the blue lunch/beer bag cooler).  He always seemed like a cool dude and was a great asset to the slot community.  RIP Joey, hope you and Buzz are pulling the one arm bandits in the great beyond.

My condolences to his family and friends. Like some of the others it's been a while since I have been on the NLG site. I had visited the shop a few times years ago when I lived in Vegas and would come down to Laughlin to throw our boat on the Colorado River. Though I did not meet him personally that I know though his efforts live on. He built a great resource for many. RIP

Bobby
