Obituary for Frank Spodnick Sr.
Frank Spodnick., Sr. age 90, of Stratford, beloved husband of the late Kay (Harty) Spodnick, passed away Friday, October 16, 2020 in Orange City, FL.

He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
Survivors include his devoted children, Frank Spodnick and his wife Barbara of Stratford, Karen Taylor and her husband John of North Haven, Pat Pettinato and her husband John of Vermont, and Aileen Marsh of Stratford; grandchildren Mark Carraro and his wife Denise, Jessica Carraro, Lauren ( Pettinato ) Hudspith, and husband Karl, Christine (Pettinato) Jerome and husband Zachary, Caroline Pettinato, Jeanine Marsh, and Glenn Marsh; great grandson Wesley Hudspith; sister Marian Nettle; and several nieces and nephews.
