To the Family and Loved Ones of this Amazing Man. May God continue to bless and comfort you all you celebrate the life of our dear brother and friend. He may be gone from sight but he is forever present in our hearts and memories. 
God bless

There I s not a day  that  has passed that I have not thought about My Brother , My Friend and Confidant.  I most of all remember the great Joy We shared as we pursued Our Dreams and Love of Family. 

May Almighty God Continue To Bless the Wilson Family 
Their Faith & Love is Special and Unending .

I grew up with Joseph Tony “Eggy” Wilson through the Sag Harbor experience. He was in my wedding party with Dennis Leach. Tony was like a brother. I shared in the celebration of his marriage to Sophia and later the joy of his children/family. I will miss you dearly my friend. Your spirit will live on in your children and the memories of those who loved you. You were a good man, father and husband.

My favorite memory is how special it made me feel when he entrusted me to tutor his son and daughter. It made me feel like a member of their "extended family!"  

While a year has passed since you were called home to receive your Crown of Glory, you are still remembered and loved and we all know that we will see you again in due time. 

I am truly sorry to hear of Joe passIng.   I just heard.   He was so nice.    Worked with Joe at OAG.   Laughing all the time talking our entertainment gossip.   I always told Joe he looks exactly like my godfather.  We would laugh about it.   I also have a daughter named Summer.   I think he did too.   Anyway I just wanted to offer my condolences to his family.   Rest in Power Joe.    

Sincerely 
Seleste

Dearest family,
Joseph will always live in our hearts and memories of our days together will remain precious. His smile, laugh and love of life, especially for his beloved family made him the friend he was to all of us.  He is gone much too soon from us . With deepest condolences and love.

Dear Sophia, Amara, Grace, Summer and Dan,

Reading all of these amazing tributes to Joe, as well as hearing Dennis' and the Reverend's remarks last Friday, I am struck by how loved Joe was and continues to be.   He was truly an incredible man, filled with all the right stuff:  love of family, humor, intellect, music, grit, resilience, a clear view of right and wrong and a constant aura of kindness.

Joe and I got to know each other at the outset of  our parenting years.  Our children were classmates from the beginning.  Joe and I struck up a conversation at our first father/daughter boat ride (ignoring our daughters while enjoying a drink as the NY skyline floated by), and the conversation just kept going after that for the next twenty years.   

As Joe and I spent more time together, one thing became clear.  There was almost nothing he would not do for his family, especially his children.  This included strapping on ice skates (not his strongest sport) for a dozen or more Valentine's Day skating parties with his girls, driving countless hours and miles to get Dan to and from Collegiate, sitting in the back with me (near the food) at dozens of concerts, pageants, games, curriculum nights, college nights and other  command performances and agreeing to serve as a Trustee of Sacred Heart for six years.

It was during Joe's work on the school board that I got to see first hand how effective Joe must have been "chasing bad guys" in the AG's office.  School board work is time consuming, often tedious and almost always thankless.  Joe did the hard work, ran toward rather than shying away from tough questions and  consistently helped (often with humor or an understated question or comment) lead the discussion and ultimately the decision to where it should go.    The entire Sacred Heart family owes Joe (and you for the time he spent way from you) a debt of gratitude for his work.

I will miss Joe terribly and always be grateful for his friendship.

Love, 

Kevin Sheridan


Dear Wilson family
Joe, Eggy, Tony, JAWs, all names and terms of endearment and affection that the Baker family shared. I met him in Boston when he was at BU law school and was a friend of my husband Rick when we first starting dating in the early 80s. Many, many memories from Boston/Beantown. When they were hanging out, people often mistook them for and asked if they were brothers and Tony always said
 “ Yes... he’s my brotha” always followed by that infectious laugh. So many stories that we can tell and would be happy to share at a later time.

Favorite phrases from Tony: 
“You don’t stop” 
“ Babylon”
“ Indeed”

Glad that we were able to wish you a happy birthday and speak with you. We love and miss you... always. RIP

💕🙏🏽

My sincerest condolences to Adrienne and your family. Joe was always a gentlemen and  I will always remember seeing him at Jazzmobile at Grants Tomb during the summers. May he rest in eternal peace.

                                                                                 Peace & Blessings,
                                                                                     Roger Parris

Dear Sofia,

To you and the Wilson Family I send my heart warm condolences.

Joseph, "Tony", "Iggy" was a true friend-brother who loved you and the children and cared for everyone he met.

I can hear his voice, deep and soothing in discussion on fatherhood, business and on life in general. Always asking, "How are you doing"? He was a true blessing.

Sofia, treasure the memories you shared with Joseph, this with Love and Faith will take your hand and will see you through.

You and the children are in my prayers.

As always,

Kendal 

Joe (Iggy) Wilson was a wonderful human being with a smile and laugh that lit up the room.  LOVED THAT LAUGH!!!I remember the day he introduced me to his bride Sophia. It was on the beach in Sag Harbor. I knew right then and there that he found his partner in life. They  raised such beautiful children. Iggy was ageless. Growing up in Sag Harbor I was several years younger than him. It didn’t matter. He still took the time to tell me a story that made me laugh and made me feel “included”. 
Sophia, he will never leave you.... He will always be with you and your children in spirit which I know from experience IS POWERFUL. 
Peace be with you my friend..... Jennifer

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this difficult time.
Joe was a great guy and he will truly be missed.

Joe Wilson was my friend, neighbor and attorney. He was a good man. He was a proud father, 
dedicated husband and loving son.

He  lead an admirable life and was generous with his time. I have been  missing him for many months as calls went unreturned. He fought hard and earned  his rest. His legacies in Sag Harbor , Harlem and at the NYS Attorney General's Office  will endure throughout the places he walked. Steve Williams and family. 

My heart is heavy today hearing of the Passing of Joseph Wilson
he was the most down to earth person I worked with at  the Attorney General Office. I wish his Family Peace Comfort as you Grieve my Prayers are with you at this time.

Regina Green

Joseph Wilson was  a co-worker and friend who at one time served as an Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Law. He was wonderful to work with, and  one of the nicest, kindest, and sweetest persons I have ever known.   My deepest sympathy to his family. May God Bless his Soul.

Dear Sophia and Family,

The Garcia family wants to extend our deepest condolences to you and your family. Words fail to express our sorrow for your loss. Our Family are thankful to have gotten to know Joseph. He will be missed dearly.
We hope that you will find  comfort and strength during this difficult time.

The Garcia Family

Dear Family, 
Although I had not seen Joe ( or "Eggie" as I grew up calling him) in many years , I have so many fond memories of his gentle, thoughtful, intelligent, optimistic, playful, natural, unpretentious, caring and brotherly attributes. He seemed to always have the warmth of the sun on his face when we gathered on the beach in Sag Harbor.  And although he will be sorely missed, I know his memory will live on in our hearts forever.
My condolences,
Robin Coward

A down, caring brother with no pretensions
No enemies
Hearing about The Mrs. and The Munchkins, Mrs. (Audraine) Wilson and Adrienne
His B-Day gift to me of an NWA tape, before anyone on the East Coast had heard about them
Sax player
“Country Joe,” potato farmer, Long Island (Arkansas?)
High-octane Joe, like his passion or bounding up stairs two at a time
His dreams of and striving for real estate development
August 7 convo following an ordeal, a vision of residing at his beloved Sag Harbor spot
Dennis, “my man Fred,” Dr. Barry J
2016 Final Four at Deacon C. Powell’s (with A. Austin, C. Wms, duBoulay, Cleston)
Super Bowls at G. Harmon’s (with Angie, E. Jackson, R. Bailey, C. Powell, R. Frost, et al) 
Holding forth at Grant’s Tomb each and every summer Wednesday
That smile - warm, welcoming, nicely balancing the angelic with the rascally

My deepest condolences to the family of my dear friend Joseph (or Joe as we called him). We have been friends since kids (each attending Resurrection Elementary School) and later as colleagues in the legal practice. Joe is always one who has (notice no past tense) the ability to capture beautiful moments of joy and insight and for that he will always be remembered. May God give you comfort and peace today and always. I will always treasure the times we spent together and look forward to seeing him again.
Charles Powell
