If you aren't familiar with that name, you probably aren't a proponent of the Garabandal apparitions. Basically, Joey was blind. Per the seers of Garanbandal, he would receive his sight back in miraculous fashion before he died, and, if I remember correctly, this would be connected with The Warning and The Miracle. That doesn't seem to have happened, which means that all the doubts about these alleged appearances by the Blessed Mother seem to have been well-placed.
I know, I know. Mystical experiences and apparitions are hard to account for and confusing even to the recipient sometimes. Sure, they can get things wrong in trying to explain their visions to the world. I get that. I'm pretty sure this makes for the final word on this particular issue, though.

I believe the idea that his eyesight would be restored miraculously was a matter of interpretation. I think what it said was that he would see it with new eyes--which he is in his glorified body. Perhaps the implication was that Joey would be gone when it happened, not that his eyes would be restored miraculously. RIP Joey, faithful servant.
Eternal rest grant unto Joey Lomangino and may perpetual light shine upon him. may he rest in peace. Amen
O God, The Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful. grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen
Joey was promised a miracle. Joey was a miracle. A faithful servant of God who sacrificed his life on this earth for souls of many to believe the truths The Most Blessed Virgin has revealed by the grace of God. How many of us can compare to such faith as this man had. We need to redouble our efforts.
The Ever Most Blessed and Glorious Virgin Mary has given us warnings for our times. We should not look for reasons not to believe in her warnings. We should all take this opportunity to preserve in prayer and fasting and thank God for His endless mercy .
The time is short and now shorter than ever.
O Most Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary. Pray for us
O Most Sacred and Sorrowful Heart of Jesus. Have Mercy on us
O Most Glorious St Joseph. Pray for Us
Joey passed today the 18th June 2014 at 10:30 AM. May God grant him pardon and rest.
Amen

Indeed, as I said, even seers can misinterpret the messages they are given. If that's possible, then it's certainly possibly for others to do so.
