I want to thank Joe for being the person he is, and for going above and beyond of not just being the town hardware store merchant, but someone who cares with a huge heart.
My 86 yr old mother who has refused to move and live with me because she refuses to leave the city of Hammonton where she always lived and because of the people of the town.
I have to live out of state because of my job. I worry constantly about her because im so far. Well not anymore.
..i mean not so much now.
I try to get to hammonton to see her and check on things as much as possible, but these days im lucky if its once every three months.
In 6 yrs since i left i worry about her and the house. I constantly thank my lucky stars that there hasnt been any trouble or problems.... Until today
Because I found out why.....Joe
When arriving at moms this week i noticed someone leaving the house and driving off. As i walked into the house to ask mom who left the house i suddenly smelled moms baking and totally forgot to mention the man.
Like always when i arrive, everything with Mom..and the house were fine i was told. But this time something was different. Since i was a kid when something came out of the oven, even if i didnt want some then...mom would give it to me. Mom went back to baking and i said nothing, even though i craved her baking since i dont get it to often these days. So i went to help myself and was told NO! " im making your now" and went to baking. I was never told no..( well i mean about the baking that is)
Kind of startled me really. And i. Replied
" what do you mean?"
Thats when i found out about joe and why i never herd about any problems..
I want thank this man from the bottom of my heart and for taking care of my mom. Ive tried to reimburse him for anything hes done and for the supplys hes used to make repairs He will not hear of it, actually chased me back to my car to return the money i try to leave on the counter.
I cant thank him enough or even repay him for his kindness and now i know why mom wont leave Hammonton.
I do think its mom baking that keeps him coming back lol
I thank you Joe! Hammonton should be proud to have people like you living there.
