Jonnie Agresta

Jonnie Agresta. 86, a lifelong resident of Williamstown, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

Jonnie lived a wonderful and amazing life of love with his wife Sandy for over 50 years, along with their three boys, Jon, Jimmy and Stephen truly the focus of his life. As a father, grandparent, and great grandparent he was admired and loved deeply by all. Jonnie was a compassionate, caring person and anyone who met him loved him instantly.

Jonnie was a business owner in Williamstown for over 40 years where he owned and operated Agresta Oldsmobile Pontiac Buick GMC and Agresta Cadillac Chevrolet in Hammonton. He was recognized nationally for years as being a high-performance leader in the industry. He served on many advisory boards over the years lending his knowledge to help dealers business grow and prosper.

Jonnie’s true love besides his family was gracefully playing his music at Our Lady of Peace Parish and to its huge extended family where he performed every week for over 75 years. He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus. He was also a former Rotary Club member of Williamstown. Jonnie was honored to serve on the Board of Directors of Monroe Savings Bank for over 25 years

He played and sang for thousands of masses, hundreds of funerals and weddings and gave it his all every single time. He believed that the music he played during worship could touch people in certain ways, memorably and enhance their experience in faith. And there is no doubt he accomplished that with elegant detail
