Stephen "Pop Pop" Sperandeo

Stephen was a beloved husband of Susan J. Sperandeo. The last three letters of his name, “DEO,” means “God,” and he was affectionately known as “Pop Pop” for his sense of humor and wit. His life was dedicated to his faith in God, his family, golf, and boating.

Throughout his life, Stephen achieved many accomplishments while serving in the United States Naval Reserves and the Army National Guard for a total of six years. While serving, he began a successful career at Continental Can Company, where he worked for 30 years as a Front-End Supervisor in Baltimore, MD, Tampa, FL, Perry, GA. He retired at age 49 in Warner Robins, GA. He touched the lives of countless individuals throughout his career. Skilled in both machining and woodworking, Stephen took great pride in his craftsmanship.

In 1960, Stephen and Susan began their family with the birth of their sons. He was preceded in death by two children — his firstborn son, Stephen A. Sperandeo II, and his second son, Anthony F. Sperandeo, who are deeply missed.

Stephen is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Susan, and his children Thomas F. Sperandeo (Simi Valley, CA) and John C. Sperandeo (wife Caroline T. Sperandeo) of Cumming, GA; grandchildren Stephen T. Sperandeo (wife Sumer R.) and Zachary T. Sperandeo; and great-grandchild Carter E. Sperandeo.

His immediate family members include his brothers Frank P. Sperandeo III and Charles F. Sperandeo. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Nancy P. Martel.
