Email from George Marinos to Carol Petranek, April 28, 2011:
My cousin Spero, Donny, and my sister Christine grew up very close. My sister & Spero were born just hours apart. Christine was born 7/13/1951 & Spero 7/14/1951. Donny was born 1/22/1952. The three of them were like three peas in a pod. Unfortunately my cousin Spero ( the life of the party) died 2/1992 (of a massive heart attack). He was only 40 years of age. I always said God needed a good belly laugh and that's why he took Spero at such a young age. It's so many years later and my memory of him still brings a smile to my face of all the fun he brought to our family. Donny has some of the best Spero stories you could ever imagine. Looking at this family tree really makes you thankful of what a rich family life we have. Let's hope our children are able to keep this tradition alive.
