Spano, James J. of NE Mpls, age 56. We are sad to announce Jim's passing. Following a traffic accident, Jim's broken body released his spirit on Nov. 23, 2022. Jim was generous, adventurous and had an impish sense of humor. Over the last 16 years his struggle with Multiple Sclerosis and traumatic brain injury made life difficult. He is preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Dr. & Mrs. Joseph P. Spano and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Ziegler of Perham, MN. Survived by parents, Joe & Betty Spano; sisters Terese Spano-Madden (Chuck), Carol Wiltshire (Andy), nieces Dana, Elise, Morgan, Annah, Sofia and nephew Carl; many extended family members.
