Joseph Nagle Obituary
JOSEPH MARK NAGLE (Age 45)
On Saturday, October 21, 2006, after eight years of courageous battle with cancer, Joe finally succumbed to his illness. Joe will always be remembered as a loving father, husband and friend. He loved his family deeply and to him his children were everything in his life. He was always there to help a friend or the St. Rita community regardless of how sick he was. Joe enjoyed life and anyone who knew him would tell you that he lived by the motto that there is "the right way, the wrong way and Joe's way". He is survived by his loving wife of 15 years Deborah G. Nagle; son Brendan E. Nagle, age 13; and daughter Claire A. Nagle, age 11. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters Eileen F. Chubb, Thomas F. Nagle, James J. Nagle, Kathleen G. Nagle, John S. Nagle and Robert P. Nagle. He was preceded in death by his parents Francis X. and Eileen G. Nagle. The family will receive friends on Monday, October 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. at EVERLY WHEATLEY FUNERAL HOME. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated, 11 a.m., on Tuesday, October 24 at St. Rita's Catholic Church. Interment will follow at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation, 1600 Duke St., Suite 500, Alexandria, VA 22314.

We were so deeply saddened to learn of Joe's passing. He was such a dear friend to Todd. In our long lives we don't know of anyone more courageous than Joe in his valiant struggle with this disease. May God bless you, Brendon & Claire with courage and strength in the time ahead and may warm and happy memories of Joe enfold you. You will be close in our thoughts and prayers.
