" J O - E - E !!" I would say.
" DEB -B- I - E !!" he would reply.
That was our morning greeting everyday.
Love that guy.
Who and/or what was Joe (that banana guy) Lisicky?
Lunch buddy, kidding around buddy, knew where everything was in the store buddy. My own personal produce concierge. A little tight with the buck buddy. I could go on and on.
Truly, he was a lot of people's buddy.
But most importantly he was my buddy and feel very lucky he and I crossed paths while our time on this earth.
I hadn't worked at Valley for a couple years but friends like him stay in my heart forever. Rest peaceful my friend.
