  1. We are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a good neighbor for 33 years. My mother also worked with him for many years and thought the world of him.

  2. Joe, Tomme & families, Sure hated to hear about your Dad passing. He was the “salt of the earth” and loved by everyone that knew him. Keep all your good memories tucked in your heart and remember he left this earth with his angel wings on!!

  5. Condolences to the entire family of Jim. A wonderful man of character I only got to know in speck of time to his 86 years, but certainly was privileged in my experience to. Nothing more humorously satisfying than experiencing two men of our quiet nature’s engaged in sitdown attempt at solving the woes of the world in which we almost had it figured out. God certainly good to me in allowing my path to humbly cross Jim’s when He did. Rest in peace Jim and thanks for being and sharing you in our short time together. Go Yankees!

  6. To the Spadaccini family, I am so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I met Jim at Hermon-DeKalb school. As a young teacher, Jim was the man who could find whatever was needed. I always
    appreciated his kindness and good nature.

  7. So sorry for you guys…Jim is such a good guy! All of those Spadaccini ‘s will straighten out any issues with the Yankees!

  8. Joe & Tomme –
    Al & I are very sorry about your dad. He was such a nice man. Al always enjoyed running into him at the post office and chatting. I liked beeping at him on my way home and seeing him at sprinkles! He will be missed. And now Freda… Hopefully they are all enjoying each other’s company in heaven!
    Take care!
    Allen & Julie
