新泽西州德马雷斯特报道——近日，新泽西州德马雷斯特的居民挤满了当地一家餐厅，都想与乔·迪托雷合影——或者更好的是，给他一个拥抱。
在过去33年里，迪托雷不仅通过信箱服务，更在个人生活中为社区居民提供了诸多帮助。
但如今，这位邮差迪托雷即将退休。
德马雷斯特的居民表示，迪托雷不仅仅是一名邮差。邻居们会向他倾诉医疗问题，或者当车库门在不该开启的时间敞开时，迪托雷会提醒居民。有人甚至会将他列为紧急联系人。
1992年成为邮差之前，迪托雷经营着一家小型房屋粉刷企业。尽管他热爱帮助他人，但却厌恶向他们收费。于是，他找到了一份既能保持这份初心又无需收费的工作。
“我总是告诉大家，如果你需要我，我随时都在。”迪托雷告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
迪托雷还表示，他会帮助邻居在镇上跑腿办事。
除了乐于助人、细心周到，迪托雷还成为了许多德马雷斯特居民的精神支柱，比如艾琳·基齐。
当她的狗库珀去世时，她第一时间告诉了迪托雷，而他则送给她一条刻有狗狗名字的手链。
“我爱我的父亲，但老实说，我把他看作是一种父亲形象。”基齐谈到迪托雷时说道。
多年来，这些看似微小的善举让居民们深感温暖，他们想用行动表达对迪托雷的感激。居民们表示，因为他真心关怀他人，所以大家也同样关心他。
迪托雷表示，即便退休后，他仍希望能偶尔回来看看居民们。
“人们常说善有善报，但对我而言，回报却是十倍百倍。”迪托雷说，“我会无比想念你们。”

After 33 years on the route, a New Jersey mailman who loved helping people retires

Demarest, New Jersey — Residents in Demarest, New Jersey, packed into a local restaurant recently, all of them wanting a picture — or better yet, a hug — from Joe DiTore.
For the past 33 years, DiTore has really delivered for people in this community, both in their mailboxes and their personal lives.
But now DiTore, a mailman, is retiring.
Residents in Demarest said DiTore is more than just a mailman. Neighbors will tell him when they have medical issues, or DiTore will let a resident know when a garage door is open at the wrong time. One says they would even list him as an emergency contact.
Before DiTore became a mailman in 1992, he owned a small business painting houses. And although he loved helping people, he hated charging them. So, he found a job where he could still be the person he wanted to be just for free.
“I always tell people I’m around if you need me,” DiTore told CBS News.
DiTore said he also helps residents in the neighborhood with errands around town.
But beyond being a helpful hand and watchful eye, DiTore has been a real source of comfort for many in Demarest, like Erin Kitzie.
When her dog Cooper died, she told DiTore first, and he gifted her a bracelet with her dog’s name on it.
“I love my dad, but I honestly see him as sort of a father figure,” Kitzie said of DiTore.
And for all of those years of seemingly small kindnesses, residents wanted to make sure DiTore knew just how much it truly meant. Residents say that because he genuinely cares, they, in response, care for him.
DiTore said he hopes he can come by and check on the residents occasionally despite his retirement.
“They say you get back what you give, but in my case, I received it tenfold,” DiTore said. “I will miss you more than I can say.”
