Not sure what to say?

Dear Vaghi Family, Joe was my dad´s (Ahmed Youssef) best professional and personal friend. They were a great team, admired each other so much, shared stories, and loved each others families as if it was theirs. I also admired and respected Joe for his design sense and inspiration. He is forever missed. Much love, Sandy Youssef Clinton

Rest In Peace Joe and Agnes! We will always miss you. God Bless!

after reading the kind words upon the passing of Joe, I too have always been struck by his demeanor when in his company. He had that rare gift of making everyone feel special and the total focus of his attention.. he remained until his last days a vital member of our family. Although there was a major difference in the ages ..he related to the younger generation of grandnephews and neices ,along with their parents,in pertinent topics of conversation. He remained a joy to be near. Rest in...

When Great men leave us for a better place, how can you not feel sad?
But when you realize that every memory of that man is a good one, you must truly feel good about his life and the man he was. He was very proud of his loving family and rightly should be. He will be missed but I for one will be greatly honored that I knew him and learned from him. He has certainly earned his blessings.

I did not know Mr. Vaghi. I met him through the television series, The War. He emitted compassion, resilience, toughness and love. I was especially touched by his comments about his family. He was obviously a loving son and brother. Such a spirit of humanity that did not appear diminished by the face to face encounter he had with the carnage of the war. I, a stranger, learned about uncommon acts of herorism and bravery from Mr. Vaghi. I thank God for sharing him with us and pray that...

Dear Peter, Vince, Nino, and Joe,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families in the mourning of your father. Joe Vaghi was a household name in the Youssef family in Kensington. My father, Ahmed, considered Joe one of his closest friends and work associates. I know of many projects on which they collaborated over the years, and I overheard their belly laughs over stories they shared.

Additionally, your dad helped me launch into my own profession by connecting me...

My sincerest condolences to the Vaghi Family. Although we have been many miles apart, I remember Joe and the wonderful family gatherings in Bethel, Ct where everyone enjoyed a great time. May Joe rest in peace and God bless all of his family.

To the Vaghi boys and famlies:
The image of your follks and their strong family values will forever stay with me. Your dad's constant smile, his kind and generous words for everyone he met, his intellectual engagement...those are the things that I will remember, along with that handsome face. I have always held a soft spot for them both and I say a prayer in rememberance of Joe. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
With love,
Susan Mercandetti
