Anthony Daniel Spodark was born in Chicago January 3rd, 1942. He graduated CVS high & went onto college. He completed trade school in the military & came home to be a licensed electrician at IBEW local 134. He met & married Alberta Tabor straight out of the military & continued on until her passing in 2006.
He is survived by one sister Maryanne, one daughter Antoinette, grandchildren Zachary, Jeremy, & Klaire, & also one great grandchild Madeline. Along with countless friends he has made over the years that were near & dear to his heart.
He was a Knights of Columbus & a Eucharistic minister at St Joseph's Catholic Church for many years. He was also a pillar of the community hosting a neighborhood food pantry with his best friend for years, & volunteering at various local pantries.
Anthony made his mark on people as he would go out of his way to help in anyway he could; his goal always making people comfortable & giving them some breathing room to simply exist to enjoy the little things of life. He will be dearly missed.
