Ted Spagnuolo was born in Lansing, MI on December 15, 1943, to Paul and Theresa.
He was a Marine Corps Sgt. Who served in Vietnam along with his older brother, Charlie, and 2 cousins in 1964-65. As a veteran, he was very proud and honored to have served his country, and the USMC values carried him through his lifetime. He was a member of the Brownsburg American Legion Post 331.
Ted worked as a self-employed contractor in the Brownsburg area for over 30 years. He was an all-around carpenter and a master of his craft. Ted mentored, inspired, and earned the respect of several young men who worked for him. He was a man of integrity, bravery, and compassion for others.
Fishing, listening to 50's & 60's music, watching westerns and Colts football, camping, and enjoying a good steak were some of his favorite pastimes.
His love of travel allowed him and his wife to visit all 50 states, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands. He touched many lives and made genuine friendships. His unique sense of humor would elicit a smile or laughter and was shared with all.
Ted's kind, caring and thoughtful nature made him an amazing and loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. Survivors include his wife, Marian (Mary) Kay; daughter, Christine Cox; sons Rick and Tony (Amanda); grandsons, Garrett Cox, Joey and Jimmy Spagnuolo; two brothers, Charlie (Gini) and Jim (Sue) and five sisters, Paula, Anita (Ron) Palmer, Kathy (Jerry) Jackson, Loretta (Bob) Blackburn, and Roseanne (Tom) Sherwood and many nieces and nephews and cousins.
Much appreciation and gratitude are being sent by the family to the Richard Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis for their dedicated caring and concern for Ted.
Visitation will be at Matthews Mortuary on Saturday, April 16 beginning at 10 am with a rosary and memorial service immediately following at Noon. Military honors will be performed at the funeral home.
