A MODEL FOR ALL
One of the joys in life is meeting a person who affects your well being, often before you realize it. This is an astute person of good will who works in silence and seeks no accolades; his gratification is in the doing of something helpful for others. Joe Saker was such a person.
With his passing, many of us of the food industry community have lost a colleague, mentor and friend who exemplified what the deportment and life of a true citizen should be.
Joe was not helpful to just those he knew. He would help and do the right thing for all who passed his way. He was a friend of humanity.
Having crossed his path has been a privilege for me, and I shall always be grateful for his friendship, leadership and kindness.

As a high school student working part time at Shoprite in Freehold, Joe Saker was never too busy to stop and say "Hi how are you doing?" He was always interested in anything that may help the store become even better, even from a 16 year old kid. Now over 55 years later I still remember him and his interest in his workers.

Dear Saker family,
Although I never met Mr. Saker (Joseph) personally, I learned many years later from my mother that the Saker's were very generous to our family after my father's death in 1967 after a car accident. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences.

I have worked in ShopRite of Freehold for over 34 years. I remember when I was first there, as a cashier, Mr. Saker came in and shook my hand, introducing himself to me. He asked how I liked working there and proceeded to bag for me. He made me feel like I mattered to him and to the store. I've never forgotten his warm greeting and how he would come to visit on holidays, to stop and chat with all the employees. My condolences and prayers to the Saker family.
