Obituary of Charlie Spinola
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Charles Spinola on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
Charlie was born in Peekskill NY on June 21, 1965, to John (deceased) and Marylou Spinola.
At the age of 16 Charlie was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left him with a spinal cord injury. Charlie was told he would never have feelings in his legs or walk again. Knowing this Charlie worked night and day and proved them all wrong. After 6 months of rehab, Charlie left there walking with the assistance of 2 crutches. As years went on he did move to a wheelchair full time but he never let it stop him. He lived a hard life, but he never complained and his pride was always too big to ask for help.
After graduating from Peekskill High School, Charlie attended Westchester Community College, where he obtained a business degree. After college Charlie started working for Peekskill Community Health Center (Now known as Sun River Health) for the last 29 years.
Charlie had a huge love for music, he loved attending rock concerts every chance he could with family and friends. He was the biggest Minnesota Vikings, New York Yankees and Knicks fan going! Charlie could always make you laugh, he was the most selfless and strongest person you could know. He inspired so many people and he never even knew it. He was the best brother, uncle, friend and co-worker. Charlie will be greatly missed not only by family, friends, and co-workers but by all of the people he inspires with his strength and determination every single day. Charlie was the definition of strength, inspiration, and a true warrior. He is now at peace with no more pain and struggles walking into all the concerts and games he wants.
Charlie is survived by his mother Marylou Spinola of Wappingers NY, brother Anthony Spinola and his wife Kathy of Putnam Valley NY, brother Vincent Spinola (deceased), sister Lisa (Spinola) Riley and husband Robert of Poughkeepsie NY and many loving nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephew.
