Our deepest sympathy is extended to the Agate family. How fortunate you are that you can keep forever the memory of Joe and the time you shared. May God heal your sorrow and softly replace it with warm loving memories of Joe and the love you shared.

My first memory of my cousin Joe was when I was six years old! I was a flower girl for my cousin Angie's wedding and Joe was cutting my hair at Mr. Charles salon. It was 1963 and Mia Farrow was popular then.. So I received a Mia Farrow hair cut! You can imagine how short it was! I have a picture somewhere of that crazy hair cut!

Rest In Peace Joe. We love you!

You outlived Uncle Joe by 10 years, I wish it could have been twenty years instead.
