 Santa knows where to find all the best and hottest smartphones just in time to make this Christmas better and bigger than ever. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. Hundreds gathered in Paintsville High School Gymnasium this evening to remember Joey Couch. Although Couch is remembered by many through his achievements in sports at Paintsville High School and the University of Kentucky, he is also remembered by his larger-than-life personality, his huge heart and his big smile. When we were going away games in basketball, he didn't have a way to get back home and then get back to catch the bus, so I'd take him home with me. And every time that would happen, I would immediately call my wife and say, Jamie, go to the store because Joey could certainly eat. Joey was a great person and will always be remembered that way. He had a smile that would just knock you over and he smiled all the time. I don't know if you can feel this guy's shoes. I'll be honest with you, he was just larger than life at Paintsville High School. Not only did Couch have a big smile, he also had the ability to put a smile on the face of everyone he met. When you mentioned his name, there was a smile that was associated with that. And you could be madder than fire at him for doing something, but I got to tell you in a few minutes later, you know, you had your arm around him and loving him again. He was very close to him, we did a lot of things together. And so it's tough to let him go with this part of my life, but I'm pleased to see people here that are remembering him and celebrating him as we remember him. Funeral services for Joey Couch will be held Tuesday at 1 p.m. Reporting from Paintsville, I'm Sean Allen for EKB News.
