Donald Rispone

Our beloved Jimmy passed away Saturday peacefully holding his sister's hand as we gave our blessing back to Christ and our parents. Jimmy, the 6th of seven children, was born to Sam and Rosalie Rispone on December 30, 1960. He is survived by siblings Sammy Rispone and Frankie, Gary Rispone and Glenda, Eddie Rispone and Linda, Johnny Rispone and Christie, Jerry Rispone and Bronwen and Kaye Rispone Lato. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Rosalie Rispone, two sisters-in laws, Phyllis Rispone and Clydette Rispone and brother-in-law Steve Lato.

Jimmy loved music, dancing, parties, weddings and sports. He was always the life of the party. But the one thing he loved most was sharing in the lives of his nephews and nieces.

Much thanks to all the coaches and players that made Jimmy feel so special. Jimmy was the only person ever to be able to go in the locker rooms at Central High, Redemptorist and Catholic High.

Special thanks to all the wonderful caregivers who assisted the family with caring for Jimmy over the last few years, especially Ms. Linda.
