I don't know how I missed this, but Mrs. York passed back in January (the 20th). Better late than never, we can still pay our respects. Mrs. York stuck by her man in both the good times and bad, sickness and in health. Dick and Joey really embodied what marriage should be. :rip:

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Joan "Joey" York passed away late last night (01/20/12). In the forward to Dick York's autobiography, Joey wrote, "Dick used to say that he was the words and I was the music. I don't have the words that he had; certainly I don't have the words to do justice to the wonderfulness that was Dick York, my husband of forty years and my life before that and after that."
Joan's health had declined over the years, and there had been rumors of her death several years ago when a storage locker filled with memorabilia was sold on eBay, but now it is confirmed.
York's autobiography was named "The Seesaw Girl and Me" in reference to Joey and chronicled the importance of his wife in the Bewitched star's life from the time they were radio voice actors as teenagers through York's rise to fame and his serious health problems and financial decline. The book is a valentine to the love and devotion Joan provided to him when she took those marriage vows "in sickness and in health" and "for richer for poorer." He was lucky to have her by his side, and for that all fans should be thankful to her.
We should also be thankful that she has released her ailing body and her spirit is soaring with her "Dickie" again, yet it is still a sad day for her friends and family. Please think good thoughts for their family during this difficult time.
