Anthony Spinelli Obituary

Spinelli Anthony John Passed away on Monday, June 5, 2023. He was a wonderful funny and loving son, brother, husband and friend. Anthony is preceded in death by his mother Anne Spinelli and is survived by his father Louis, his wife Kathy Spinelli (McManus), his sisters Deborah Spinelli, Annette Spinelli Abo-Harb (Tarek) and Teresa Spinelli Blewett (Bob), his brother Louis Spinelli and his many nieces and nephews. Anthony worked for the Wayne, PA Post Office, retired and moved to Florida. Those that worked with him loved him noting, what a wonderful person he was. His great love for animals earned him the nickname "The Dog Whisperer". The memories shared from his clients from his dog sitting business, are a testament to the wonderful person he was and how he was there when they needed him. Baseball was Anthony's favorite sport which he played from little league through college earning him the name "Home Run" and the chance to be scouted by major league teams. His father, brother and sisters will always remember the good times growing up together and all the fun they had at family gatherings or just hanging out together at home. Anthony is a part of our hearts that will live on forever. Memorial Mass on Wednesday July 5, 2023, St. Pius X Church, 220 Lawrence Road, Broomall, PA 19008. Visitation 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M.

I loved playing baseball at Merion park with Tony as a kid. I was always disappointed if we ended up on opposing teams because he was just that good. I loved him dearly,Chuck.

I have just recently learned of Tony´s passing.

I have many fond memories of him as a great athlete and more importantly a kind person

I don´t believe I ever heard him or witness him be mean to any of his classmates in the eighth years we went to school together

My deepest condolences to his family and friends

I just found out that you passed and I still can´t believe it. I´ll always remember you as just being a positive nice person. Although we didn´t spend a ton of time together I appreciate the times we did. Whether it was playing video games, talking at family parties, going to Phillies games, or the time we went to Camden yards. Rest in peace, I´ll miss you Uncle Tony.

Tony, love you my brother and missing you a lot. That smile, your funny sense of humor, the way you lit up a room when you walked in. A lot of great memories growing up in our family. I know you are with mom and all our other family members. Hugs and kisses to you and mom and all in heaven. My heart is truly broken.

Love, your sister Debbie

To all of the Spineli Family. We had the privilege of living next door to the Spinelli family for 28. Ann and Lou and their wonderful children. Tony took my young son (Elliott) under his wing and taught him the game of baseball. Tony, Louie and the girls were just amazing kids and Nancy and I enjoyed watching them grow up. We moved away in 2006 but will never forget them. I was sad writing a note for Ann but now I have to write one for Tony. Tony, congratulations on a life well lived, it was great to see you lived on Florida (like us). God keep you in his grace. All our love from Nancy, Elliott and my self in Cape Coral, Fl.

I´m going to renew my ASPCA donation account. Tony was an amazing person. I remember a lot of conversations we had each Christmas Eve that I saw him.

I will work harder trying to be a more positive person like him. I don´t remember a time that I didn´t see him smile.
