Not sure what to say?

Great man to know and a man to be missed. I knew him from our time at Bayonne Hospital. Always knowledgeable yet always curious. Could always cut through the nonsense.

To Dr. Spinnato's family. I am now 60 but have gone to him for many years. As a resident of Jersey City and then Bayonne, I was always fearful of dentists. When we were kids because it was cheaper to get them pulled that is what we were accustomed to. However, I did not care how much the visit was, I wanted to be pain free during my extractions and did not care I wanted to be put to sleep. He told me that he promised I would not feel anything and I stayed away after the second time and he...

My sincerest condolences to Dr. Spinnato´s family. He was a kind, generous, and humble man who loved to teach and devoted his time to helping his students become better practitioners. I could never repay Dr. Spinnato for all that he has done for me - as a mentor, as a teacher, and as a friend. I will carry his memory in my heart for the rest of my days.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Spinnato. He was like a father to us all and was there dancing at our wedding, creating all of the fun. He will be fondly remembered for his humor and teachings, his kindness and just being there for us throughout all these years-- good times and the bad. He will be very, very much missed, rest in peace good old Dr Spinnato.

I would like to express my condolences to the family of this truly great man. Dr. Spinnato worked for my grandmother in Jersey City along the way to becoming an accomplished oral surgeon. He maintained a relationship with my family and that is how I ended up as one of his patients many years later. Dr. Spinnato always went out of his way to help me and my entire family when we required oral surgery. He was there cracking jokes at some of the most memorable, albeit painful or dazed,...

My sincere sympathy to Gabriella & Elizabeth & the entire family. So many memories at our office at Bogdan Ortho. Of course Dr. Spinnato took care of my girls when their wisdom teeth had to be extracted. Have been in his company at social events, weddings and always had a wonderful time. He will be missed.
