The Senate adopted an order setting its next adjournment for Thursday at 11:00 a.m. and then adjourned Tuesday in memory of Joseph Mario Marchetti.
A clerk read an order that when the Senate adjourns today, it will adjourn again on Thursday at 11:00 a.m.; the body adopted that order with no objection recorded. The senator from Suffolk, Senator Boston, moved that the Senate adjourn in memory of Joseph Mario Marchetti and summarized Marchetti’s life and local business ties. The Senate then voted in favor of the memorial motion and later approved a motion by the senator from Plymouth and Norfolk, Senator O'Connor, to adjourn.
Senator Boston said Marchetti, 83, died March 11 at Broward North Hospital of Pompano Beach, Florida, and described his immigration from Italy, his marriage of 58 years to Carmela Santoro, and his role as founder of Joseph’s Italian Bakery and Deli, which opened in South Boston in 1967. Boston noted family members and grandchildren by name during the remarks recorded in the transcript. The motion to adjourn in Marchetti’s memory was adopted by voice vote; no roll-call tally was given in the record.
The clerk’s reading of the adjournment order sets the Senate’s next meeting to Thursday at 11:00 a.m. The session concluded after the memorial and the procedural adjournment motion by Senator O'Connor prevailed.
