Hi dad you missed one heck of a presidential election. I miss talking to you about politics
I miss talking to you period. I´ve been thinking about growing up with you and mom. Lots of fun times

Dad, I can´t believe that it´s been a year since you left us , a year without your jokes, a year not hearing you laugh, a year of not arguing about politics, a year saying the return of my prodigal daughter returns when I come out and visit.
I still really don´t know what that means but it was cute. I miss you. I love you Alex misses you. We´re trying to move on, but it´s very difficult. every single day I remember something new.
one story you would tell me and I should´ve asked you more details. You want asked me if I remembered laying on the couch and our king of Prussia home I was sick and watching you and Anthony decorate the Christmas tree , you asked me that story over and over I didn´t really remember it, but you brought it up for a reason and I should´ve asked more questions.
It was something you smiled about a year without you in my life. I love you and as soon as I can get out to Pennsylvania, I will come right to your plot and we´ll talk there as well. Rest in peace, daddy.

My husband and I saw Tony just before we left for Florida at the end of February. I just heard from a friend that Our dear friend Tony passed away. To say the least, we were in shock. I cut Tony´s hair for years.
Our deepest sympathy to Tony´s family and friends. John will miss having a cigar and laughs with Tony.
RIP dear friend

Dad, where to begin. We´ve laughed, talked about politics. The teenage years were something to see. We made it through.
You are the one who could talk me off the ledge with logic and sometimes as Anthony said tough love.
For years we spoke 3-4 times per week. Even when you didn´t feel well. I´ll remember everything you asked of me and respect your wishes.
Almost every single phone call ended with I love you honey. Growing up it was obvious you wanted to be a dad.
The stories you would tell me about growing up in Narberth and funny family stories about grand pop are forever in my mind. Hug them and all our family members for me.
I was lucky to meet some of your friends whom I´ll call the Narbeth boys. I wish I could have heard more stories from them.
I´ve never seen a man hustle like you to build your plumbing business along with your mentor RK. The hours you put in, the relationships you built to become so successful is amazing.
I absorbed that work ethic and because of you have had many accomplishments.
There was never a problem you couldn´t solve always playing the long game.
Alex, your grandson loved you so much. More than you know because he doesn´t always express his feelings but I knew it by questions he would ask me and he loved that he spent that week all alone with you and Anthony.
I´ll pass on your lessons of hard work, perseverance, never giving in or up to Alex.
My love for you is forever no matter what. Rest peacefully. It´s time you deserve it.
Love you!
Love from your favorite Daughter even though you only one you had.

Tony, my Love
Sincere Condolences to your family and especially to your Dear Sister, Ellen. Love you Ellen.
So sad to read that you passed away on Mon., March 20.
I dream of you on Tues, March 21 and then again on Wed., March 22, before I even knew you passed.
I thought the dream was a sign that your illness got worse or you passed. When I read your obituary, I knew I was correct.
It was you saying your final goodbye. Very heartfelt.
I will always remember the happy times and lovely memories we shared.
Love you always, Geri.

I knew Tony for many many years. I met him at our son's little league game at Superior Tube in Lower Providence Twp. Tony was a true friend and I will miss him. My condolences to his Son Anthony and the rest of Tony's family. We would talk on the phone and reminisce about the things we used to do years ago. I will truly miss him.

Dad,
I simply wasn't ready for this day to come. There is no manual, or directions on how to deal with the pain of losing not only your father, but your life long best friend. Through out the years, it was YOU who taught me how to treat people, and how to be the man I am today. That tough love you gave me right up till the end, was your way of preparing me on how to deal with problems and navigate my life. You were the one who ALWAYS had the answers to my questions, and I could ALWAYS lean on you for advice about life in general. Even though we didn't say "I love you" to each other often, I could tell the love and affection you had for me, from the twinkle out of your baby blue eyes! You and I were inseparable, we use to laugh and tease each other, and I'm going to miss watching sports, and talking about the Plumbing trade with you. I hope to be half the man, half the tradesman that you were...you were simply the best. I will forever be indebted to you for all the things you taught me, and sacrifices you made for me. My promise to you is that I will pass on your legacy, and instill those same values in your grand daughters. I was fortunate and blessed to have a wonderful father, and role model, who taught me how to be a Spinelli. I love you dad!
