It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joe Commisso Sr, surrounded by his family, on Tuesday July 31st, 2018, at Humber River Hospital. Joe was in his 78th year and will be survived by his loving wife of 46 years Antoinette (nee Cottone), sons David, Mark and Joe, grandchildren Christian, Luca, Declan and Raine, in-laws Patti and Sam Schillaci, daughters-in-law Lindsey, Jaime and Ali. He will be joining his late brother Frank Commisso and is survived by siblings Mary Commisso, Sarah and Jim Costa, Cosimo and Pina Commisso, Nick and Rosetta Commisso, Mary and Cosimo Figliomeni and Jim and Rosanna Commisso, in addition to a long list of nieces, nephews, friends, and family who adored Joe. He was a Hair Stylist in the Hamilton area since 1967, working at Terminal Towers, Burlington Mall, and Salon Dior. He took immense pride in watching his sons and grandchildren grow throughout the years. Joe was an avid sports fan, lover of golf and will be missed walking the fairways of Willow Valley Golf and Country Club. His family will watch with great admiration as his beloved garden continues to grow throughout the summer and into eternity with Joe. Visitation will be at BAY GARDENS FUNERAL HOME “William J.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Joe's untimely passing. We have known this incredible man for close to 40 years and his love for his family was beyond words. He was so proud to be called "Nonno" and loved telling stories about his grandchildren. His talent and passion as a hair stylist was second to none and he enjoyed seeing his "regular" clients each and every time they visited the salon. His love of golf was a topic of many conversations and stories. Joe, we will be forever grateful for your friendship and know you are with those gone before you. May God hold you close and may you rest in heavenly peace.

My deepest sympathies to Toni, Mark and family. Joe was such a sweet man who will be terribly missed. For the 20 plus years I’ve been coming to the salon, Joe would insist on calling me Nicole, as he said I reminded him of Nicole Kidman. I will miss his sense of humour and his beautiful welcoming smile. Much love to you all at this incredibly difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing and send my best wishes to the whole family. Joe cut, curled, dyed and styled my hair through the late 70's and on for many years. I will remember him very fondly and I am so glad that I had a few words with him the last time I saw him at Salon D. When I went in to the shop, and, as usual said hi to Joe if he was there and, just as Joe always did, he looked up, gave me a warm smile and asked me how I was. I can see that smile today and will remember.

Sincerely, Christine

My deepest sympathies to the family. Joe was a well respected man. He was an inspiration to me in the hair industry and taught me so much as I began my career as a hairstylist. I will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work for Joe and he will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Joe.
