A community says ‘thanks’

 

Joe farewell 2015-489Mangawhai citizens thought they had hit the jackpot when the Warkworth Countdown supermarket started delivering groceries.

Usually the domain of small stores 50-odd years ago, once again, for a small charge, busy Mums could get grocery service to their door.

Now though there’s a combined disappointment as grocery delivery man 'Joe' – an incredibly friendly, helpful, smiley, flamboyant figure who has managed to captivate the hearts of locals with every delivery made – is heading to Kaitaia to be closer to family.

Joe was one of a kind say locals, and just by being himself made people's days a little brighter, a little happier.

Wellwishers decided to get together and thank Joe by donating a little something he could remember them by and accept as thanks for the kindness he has given to so many.

Over $250 in total was donated, and on Saturday May 16, after his last delivery, Joe joined some of the community at Bammas Surf Shop for a tearful surprise farewell and memento thanks to Sarah C and Threadbox.

Thanks Joe, for being you. Keep that smile going.
