The Meticulous Brother
Most kids hate hand-me- downs. But Paul Spagnoletti did not mind wearing his brother Greg's. The reason was that the clothes always seemed practically new, arriving spotless and crisply folded. Greg was the third of the four Spagnoletti brothers — best friends and hockey fanatics all — and he was utterly meticulous. He was also, as Paul Spagnoletti put it, "definitely the responsible one."

As an adult, living in the city and working as a bond salesman at Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Greg Spagnoletti was a problem- solver, caretaker and coach, checking in on his kid brother every day, helping his dad with his finances, organizing an ice hockey team at Chelsea Piers and dropping in on Anthony, the neighborhood tailor, with a cup of coffee.

And Mr. Spagnoletti, who would have turned 33 on Oct. 18, remained as neat and particular as ever. Two years ago, he bought a 1,200-square-foot apartment on West 72nd Street. It was perfectly livable, but Mr. Spagnoletti and his fiancée, Gretchen Zurn, spent nine months gutting it to its slab and girders and putting it back together again.

"When all was said and done, he was so proud of it," Paul Spagnoletti said. "It would take him 45 minutes to give you the tour."

Remembering Greg today on the 20th anniversary. God's love and peace to you, Greg, and your family.

We share the same last name but are not related. I visited the Memorial in NYC and said a prayer for Gregory. I was thinking of him yesterday. God Bless his family in their loss.

Remembering Greg today on this anniversary.

I played pop warner football with Greg on the Waterbury Knights and had been a guest at the family home for dinner. I reconnected with Greg years later while in college in Boston.

A great kid turned into a great guy!! His smile could light up a room!!

God's Peace...

Thinking of you today but we know that you are with your dad now. The Harris Family

I went to Carrington School with Greg we were in the same class together. I always remembered when he would always borrow a pencil from me. I used to always make sure I had an extra pencil and pen just in case he needed it. To this day things he did still make me chuckle. You were a GREAT PERSON. You will be very missed and I pray for you and your family. Until we meet in heaven again.
