John was always by his wife’s side especially when Irene carried her kettle seeking donations for her project of sending various items overseas to our troops.

I can never remember an event where I did not see John and Irene in attendance.  They were probably two of the more familiar faces in the Dundalk community.

Our condolences go out to the Spatafore family. John will be missed.
