LITCHFIELD / WATERBURY – Who was the beloved
humanist Xhevar Adili, known to many friends and customers as Joe at DifRanco’s
restaurant?
He was born in 1965
in Ladorisht, Albania. Xhevar attended primary school in his native place, then
Niko Nestor secondary school.
Xhevar Adili immigrated
like everyone else to the USA, where he started working in a restaurant.
In addition to work,
Xhevar was active in all Albanian clubs and associations. He talked often out
his experiences and the long stays on the streets of New York.
As a member of the
Albanian club Hasan Prishtina in Waterbury, he supported many humanitarian
activities. If you cross the road and head north to Litchfield and ask about DiFranco's
restaurant, you will learn that the owner is the humanist Joe Adili as soon as
you enter the walls of the restaurant.
DiFranco’s features photos
of the village of Ladorisht and the city of Struge. There are also the songs of
Selami Kolonje that accompany the start of work in the morning.
The customers of the
restaurant are curious to know about the importance of the photos on the wall.
While Xhevari is hungry he tells them about his birthplace and origin.
In addition to the
menu and the facilities in the restaurant, all customers feel proud to meet the
owner of the restaurant. The call is often heard: “Where is Joe?”
Life really has
sacrifices.
Xhevar really worked
for a better life.
He contributed to the
society. The family, the society and the circle where they live will remember
him fondly. The Adili family: Miliferi, Genci, Valoni, Jetoni and Alibioni are
proud of Xhevar.
Rest in peace my
friend – God Bless you Joe.
