Joseph P. Spagnoli, Sr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on April 7, 2019. Born in Philadelphia on October 14, 1934, Joe was the son of Andrea and Julia Spagnoli (nee Suffern). At a young age Joe became an orphan and went on to North Catholic High School. Upon graduating, Joe served his country in the United States Marine Corps. He later met the love of his life and best friend, the late Dolores (nee Zinn). They married and their family blossomed. Joe was the loving father of Donna Hniedziejko (Larry) and Joseph Spagnoli, Jr. Joe dedicated several years working as a maintenance mechanic for the City of Philadelphia. He enjoyed playing and watching sports, creating artwork, but most of all his greatest joy was his family. He will be deeply missed by all.
