Saratoga Springs, NY - Mark Edward Spadafore of Route 50, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, March 8, 2011. He was 36. Born on January 17, 1975 in Auburn, NY, he is survived by his parents, Jim and Debbie Spadafore and two brothers, Mike and Tim. A graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh, Mark enjoyed his life to the best of his abilities, yet his true passion was hunting, the outdoors, dogs and horses and his favorite times were spent each summer during the Saratoga meeting. He would sneak into the Oklahoma track to watch training, be one of the first in line pre-breakfast to get the best picnic tables for family and friends and prided himself on knowing all there was to know about horses. He also truly loved his parent's dog Morgan, taught her how to "speak", to play hockey and how to show someone something - undivided love. Other than being a better goalie than his older brother, his finest moment was to score a hole in one at the Oswego Country Club in Oswego, NY. Mark will truly be missed by his family, friends and Morgan. Relatives and friends may call from 5 to 7pm Friday, March 11, 2011 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs 584-5373. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30am Saturday, March 12, 2011 in St. Clement's Roman Catholic Church, 231 Lake Avenue, Saratoga Springs, by the Rev. Paul J. Borowski, C.Ss.R., pastor. The Rite of Committal will follow at St. Peter's Cemetery, West Avenue. Online remembrances may be made at www.burkefuneralhome.com.
