Born in Dedham, MA, a son of the late Nunzio and Iolande (Capello). He was the husband of Lena (Cataldo) Agrillo.
A self made man that led a good long life, lived well and was in constant motion, even though he "officially" retired at 45 years old.
He had a sincere interest in people and a natural quest for knowledge. He was a very active member of the Bourne community donating to charities and volunteering his time. He was very proud to have served in the Navy and sharing many Navy experiences during family dinners.
He was the true meaning of jack of all trades, working on the family farm at a young age. His work ethic was beyond reproach which he instilled in his children. His heart was generous, sharing his knowledge, grace and many yard sale items. We are grateful to his Doctors, Aviles, Canaday, Prieto and Bouche for their exceptional care.
He is survived by his wife Lena of 66 years, and children, Nancy Agrillo and husband Chris Kelly, Beth Agrillo and Barry Andrews, Joseph Jr., and wife Crystal Agrillo, Laurie Agrillo and Bruce Goedecke and 2 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren and his sister Dorothy Eunson.
