Father's Brookdale Route in Belleville and Newark

Hi,
My father also worked for BROOKDALE BEVERAGE.

I will never forget aunt Marie and uncle Joe and of course Barbara and Joseph.

Most of all i will never forget the wonderful picnics they gave all the employees, i think every year.

My father, Gene Merich, now passed away, had his own soda route which was in newark and belleville. I remember his brookdale truck and the wooden soda cases. I think my favorite flavor was the cream.

I could go on and on, just so many great memories with brookdale soda.
