He brought a light hearted spirit to our accounting department.
We enjoyed having his (your) company at company christmas

I wish to offer my deepest condolences to the Zareczky family. Joe was more than an accountant at WGPA. He was a dear friend to me. I am blessed that I got to spend so much time around him in the last year. I am a better person because of him. It will never be the same coming to WGPA and not seeing him. I will always cherish the memories and lessons learned from Joe. He was a dear friend who will always have a special place in my heart.

Our sincere sympathy to Joe's family. I worked with Joe at WGPA about 10 years ago. He was the nicest, kindest, man I had the pleasure of knowing. His sense of humor was contagious. I know his family will miss him terribly and so will the people at the radio station and those who worked with Joe in the past. We saw Joe this past May for a brief conversation at the radio station. I am so glad we did. Good-bye to a wonderful man. Roger & Paula Csatari
