To the Zadroga family,
Hello, my name is Louise and I worked with Joe at Stop N Shop for many years. What can I say about Joe. He loved to tease, he loved to laugh, and he loved to have fun. There was never a dull moment with him around. I will miss Joe very much, he was a nice man. I want his family to know that they are in my thoughts and prayers and that Joe was definitely loved and will be missed by many. God Bless. Louise Rzeczka
