My condolences to Joan’s family. I am so very sorry.
I met Joan and Vic in 1992. I worked at the Olive Garden in Jensen Beach Florida..and they were regulars. I always gave them their favorite booth. We chatted mostly about our love of animals .
I moved back to my home state in 2003 and they never missed a year of sending me a Christmas card from them and Buddy the cat.
While in Florida, they gave me a beautiful hand made Christmas ornament, every year. I still have them. They were kind and loving people, who cared. I will miss them very much.
Could this be Joan Trotta who was a history teacher at Passaic Valley High School? If so I was in your class when I was a freshman at Passaic Valley in 1961. I really enjoyed being in your class.
