Victor Spagnuolo

Born August 5, 1937, to Victor and Catherine (Danzo) Spagnuolo. Dear God we give to you our Father, Papa, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, our Dad who passed away October 23, 2009. Victor joined the Air Force soon after graduating. After his discharge he was a member of the Ingham County Sheriffs Department and finished his working career in sales. One of his greatest pleasures was being a sales rep for Spalding, meeting celeberty athletes, and the very best of all was to sign Ervin (Magic) Johnson to represent Spalding Basketball. He also worked for the Spadafore Distributing (Wine) Co. Victor was a sports enthusiast, always focused on the game of football. His fondest memories were when he coached Pop Warner Youth Football and was the athletic director and coach at Holy Cross. After his retirement he moved to Clifford Lake where he enjoyed fishing and the company of many friends. Victor is preceded in death by his parents, grandson Duston, and sister Karylon Kay Kenlurd.
