John, who was my sister-in-law Linda's brother-in-law, was everybody's favorite uncle. He would gather up all the kids in the family in the weeks before Christmas and take them to Toys R Us. The kids would come back from their trips ecstatic. John was also an avid sports fan. When our nephew Eric Luther was in high school, John came to his baseball and soccer games and hung out with my brother-in-law Mark Luther. He loved dogs and other animals and really wanted to become a vet instead of an attorney. We shared many family parties together and he will be missed by all.

Mr Spadora was my husband’s best friend’s father . He was an absolute joy to be around during Brian’s and Tara’s gatherings. He had a great interest in my Polish heritage and he was just an overly well rounded man. From being highly intelligent to being very funny. I loved seeing him interact with his grandchildren Emma and William. He always made them laugh and showed great interest in the individuals that they were becoming. He enjoyed our son Johnny and was impressed with his musical interests. My husband shared many funny stories from his high school and college years with Mr. Spadora and to this day we get a good laugh. Even when he wasn’t trying to be funny, he still was. May he rest in peace.

John is my first cousin, our fathers are brothers. Over the years, John kept many of us cousins in communication via email. He made me laugh many, many times. I remember all his Italian jokes and his extreme kindness. John will be missed by his family and friends in so many ways. My sincere sympathy and prayers.
