My condolences to the remaining Spadafora family. I knew Judi and Anthony Spadafora, parents of Pete. They were a delightful couple and loving parents to Pete and Jay. May Pete Rest in Peace in the arms of our Lord.

Pete was a kind and caring soul. Even though we lost contact over the years he will always be fondly remembered by me and my family. We had many great memories of fishing, working together, and helping each other with home projects. Pete, rest in peace and you are missed brother.

I am so sorry for your loss. Pete and I were college roommates and fraternity brothers. Even though I haven´t seen him in years I will still miss him not knowing he´s here.
