Joseph SPAGNA

I think of Joe often, we spent many lunches together, we laughed and discussed many topics. I´m sure your God´s handyman and still helping others.

Dear Spagna Family,
I was totally surprised and saddened to learn yesterday of Joe's passing. I am a 1975 graduate of Central and my boyfriend, Rick was one of Joe's brothers in Delta Kappa Chi. I have wonderful memories of Joe, and remember visiting at his parents' house in New Britain. My prayers are with you.

Maryann, Sal & Suzanne,
Joe was the BEST! Our deepest sympathy to all of you! Our family is honored to have been blessed with his friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was a student of his in 78/79 and my son the past two years. He was a great teacher and wonderful person. He will be missed.

Mr. Spagna was a wonderful man and educator. I will always remember his patience, and his smile. I am so sorry for your loss, you all will be in my thoughts. Jodi (Watkins) York

As past president of UNICO and current Chairman of the Board of UNICO I want to express our organization's sincere condolances to Joe's family. Joe exemplified our motto of 'Service Above Self'. Everthing he did, every function he participated in and every committee he chaired was an unselfish giving of himself. Joe, you will be forever in our prayers not only as a brother UNICAN but as a teacher, mentor and leader.

Joe was a scuba instructor to both my husband and myself, and his patient encouragement meant the world to us. He will remain in our thoughts beneath the waves.

Maryann,
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and Joe for these past few months and will continue for you, Sal, Suzanne, Anna and John. In this world of "takers", Joe was the ultimate "GIVER." Joe was more than a colleague, he was a great friend and team player. Nobody represented Plainville better as Teacher of the Year than Joe. But more than that, his legacy will be that of "Husband, Father, Son and Brother. Family was always first with Joe, and that is what we will remember the most. While I was unable to see Joe when we were in CT in May, I am glad I was able to see you and share a hug at MSP. We hope that happy memories and the love and support of family and friends will help you through this difficult time.
Love,
John and Sue McDonnell Surprise, Arizona

Mrs. Spagna and the Spanga children,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Spagna's passing. I was a '97 graduate of MSP and enjoyed my time in metal shop. I fondly think of Mr. Spagna every time I change a plug or light switch in my house because without his class, I certainly wouldn't know the difference between red and white wires! That's just one of many projects I remember from his class. I hope happy memories you shared with him will help you smile through this difficult time. I'm thinking of you all.

Joe's whole life was based on helping others, and he will be missed.
