To the Family of Joe Hagerty: I got to know Joe at Hunters Point West Bay Hunt Club. He was a congenial and fascinating friend who gave me and the club members many warm stories about his exciting experiences. He was an important person in the club and did a lot to make it a success. Joe had a fabulous talent for bringing wildlife alive in sculptures and paintings that we all enjoyed. I extend my condolences to the family on the passing of a great outdoorsman and good friend.
