Louis Spinato Obituary

Louis Spinato
August 4, 2022
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Louis Spinato, on August 4, 2022. Lou leaves his wife Maurine, daughters Ann (the late Peter) Weiss and Linda (Lou) Marino and two grandchildren Tyler (Elizabeth) Marino and Taylor Weiss.
His father Anthony Spinato, mother Anna Spinato, and sister Janice Croce predeceased him.
Lou was a passionate man with an incredible devotion to his family. He was always a curious learner and had an array of hobbies and passions including woodworking, golf, photography, and electric vehicles. As a self- taught expert carpenter, he crafted cabinets, tables, benches, and even his son-in-law's back deck. Lou always had an interest for new technology trends even as he got older, his most notable one being electric vehicles. This led him to purchasing one of the first Tesla's in the state of CT back in 2011, and he made sure to take everyone that he knew for a ride in it. Lou was an excellent golfer that loved to teach others and share tips whether they asked for it or not. Lou spent the first 10+ years at Orange Hills Country Club before joining Racebrook Country Club where you could find him with his group of golf friends on the course, or in the grillroom sipping on a Madras or crisp glass of pinot grigio. Racebrook made Lou an honorary member a few years back after his years of dedication and support to the club. Lou retired from Armstrong Rubber Company where he worked as the purchasing agent and took on side projects as a photographer for the company.
The hours for visitation will take place on Tuesday from 4 to 7 pm at the West Haven Funeral Home at the green. On Wednesday morning, a funeral service will be held at 10 o'clock at the funeral home. Interment, with military honors, will follow in St. Lawrence Cemetery. Donations may be made to PGAreach.org.

My sympathy to Maureen and the Spinato family. Lou was a very special friend who often was. Like a big brother to me during my years at Armstrong Rubber Company where I worked as a young man. Our friendship carried on throughout life and I will always hold him in the highest regard. God bless his family during this sad time. I am sure he is in Heaven assisting others

Lou, you were one of the best. You overcame a lot of obstacles to become the man you were today. I'll miss you.
