However, it also sounds like the guy had great perspective. What I mean is, he could be a tough, domineering sonofagun at a poker game. After all, the point there was for someone--one person--to win. But he knew that business isn't about any one person. Rather, there's always so much more at stake and the best people work hard to do good deals for their companies because that's the long term perspective that's required when vast corporate resources and reputations are on the line. Thanks for sharing this story, since it illustrates something that we should all keep in mind. Agree with the previous commenters. However, it also sounds like the guy had great perspective.

I've always thought the way someone achieves immortality is by touching people's hearts - it sounds like Joey achieved that. Really touching – sounds like he was a really special man.
