Joe Eagle passed away unexpectedly at Brigham & Women’s Hospital on Wednesday April 20, 2022 with his loving wife & private nurse JoAnn and his 4 loving children by his side. Anyone who knew Joe knew of his immense love for his wife, children and grandchildren. Joe & JoAnn were an amazing team who lived life to their fullest and can say they did it their way without any regrets. If you had the pleasure of meeting Joe, he was not an easy man to forget. Between his quick wit, charismatic smile and his love to tease, he left a lasting impression. He made friends easily from work, neighborhood, Eastham Elks, and International friends. He had many lifelong friends.
Joe was 82 years old and lived in Dennisport MA with the love of his life JoAnn for 57 years. Together they lived in Burlington where they raised their 4 children, Judy Crooks of Rockland MA, Joe Eagle and his wife Bonnie of Pembroke NH, Linda Quinlan and her husband Stephen, Laura Somes and her husband John both of Burlington MA.

He then owned & operated Centerville Oil of Lowell MA in which he retired from. Joe had fulfilled his dream to retire young, build a retirement home and live on Cape Cod. Having lived in Eastham, gave him the opportunity to give back to the community and have a second career as a Trolley Driver, B Bus driver from Orleans to P-Town.
