Joe's Memorial Service took place at
The Queen Mary Events Park.
Long Beach, CA
The Joe Gosinski Memorial Supercruise started with an hour long memorial service at the Queen Mary Events Park in Long Beach, CA Over 600 people were in attendance.
Before the day, 309 vehicles/490 people paid $20 each, registering online and in the mail for the full events of the day.
After opening words, several of Joe's friends and family spoke to the huge crowd. KABC & KCAL were there as well (see videos above).
After the service, the vehicles embarked on a 40 mile drive. Through the Long Beach & LA Harbors, San Pedro, along the pacific ocean and into the winding hills of Palos Verdes.
Our first stop was a press conference setting at the LA Superior Courthouse in Torrance - the location where someday, the person(s) who took Joe from us will be tried for their crime. CBS was there covering Joe's story and the cruise.
We wound up at the the headquarters of Carroll Shelby near Gardena, CA. to have a lunch served by In & Out Burgers. The setting was right in the middle Carroll's private vehicle collection ad included a raffle and silent/live auctions that raised $1000's of dollars towards the Reward Fund.
