I had the privilege of working with Dr. Spaccarelli over 10+ years as a Bayer Healthcare Representative. I called on Dr. Spac at his private practice office and had many fun conversations/lunches with him and Mary. Today I found out about his passing and am deeply saddened. I meet so many physicians in/out of our city and Dr. Spac was always one of my favorites. He made me smile with his stories! I wish I could have been at the services to pay my respects and I feel awful that I just learned this afternoon of his passing. My deepest sympathies to the family and know Mary that I still think about you & hope you are well.

Dr. Spac was my physician for many years and delivered all three of my children. He was a very caring and capable doctor. When he left his practice and his office to spend more time at Good Samaritan Hospital I was happy for him----but sad for the rest of us who had been under his care. Prayers to his family, especially those grand kids who obviously adored him. You were one of a kind :)

I am so saddened by Spac' s passing and bothered by the fact that I found out after being out of town. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Paul for over thirty years. I can still remember the first day I arrived at Good Samaritan Hospital as a new wet behind the ears plastic surgeon and ran into Paul in the surgeons lounge. He was very interested in meeting me and was so glad that I had decided to join the Good Samaritan staff. He started asking my advice as though I had been a colleague for years? He wanted to know how plastic surgery could benefit his patients. That was Paul always interested in what would could make him a better, physician, colleague and human being. He is going to be greatly missed by all of us. God has already blessed Paul and I know that God will continue to look after all Paul's family, friends and patients in his absence. My thoughts are with his wife, children and grandchildren.

To the family of Dr. Spec. and Mary. I was sent to Dr.Spec, because my 2nd child was born by Dr. Goldman and the baby died and so did Dr. Goldman. I think God sent me to Dr. Spec. because of the way he took care of me and he talked me thru the next baby because I was so scared something would be wrong be wrong with the baby, he delivered 2 perfect babies, he was the greatest dr. I have ever known. Your family will be in my prayers, and maybe when he gets in heaven he can meet up with my husband who recently died and he also was thankful for Dr. Spec. and all he did for us.

Dr. Spacc was the best. I loved to do deliveries with him. They do not make physicians like him any longer. He will be greatly missed. Heaven is a happier spot now that he is gone.

Our sympathy to Paul's family with their loss of a truly great guy and one of a kind. Paul delivered our three kids and I would often laugh when I look back at the delivery of our third who was breech. I was a nervous and new pediatrician who knew about all of the complications of breech deliveries and 'how it should be done', but Paul said, "Ernie, take it easy, I know Jeanne and we'll take care of this" and he did. After he delivered our Matthew he said, "There, now go 'bond' all you want." That calm, easy sense of humor under all circumstances. He will be missed,but never forgotten as they say, definitely not in our house. Paul, thank you. Ernie and Jeanne

I have worked with Spac for the past 24 years, since I was an Ob/Gyn intern at Good Samaritan. All the residents wanted to assist Spac in his deliveries and learn forceps (he was the master and that was a big goal then). I was appreciative when he let me tag along with him. Most of all I wanted to be a doctor just like him. He was so caring to patients and compassionate. When he retired from private practice, our Ob/gyn residents and their patients benefited from his experience and teaching when he staffed our Ob/Gyn clinics. His consistent presence and patience were key to providing the teaching of standards of care to our residents.
I recently performed a beautiful C-section delivery with "Uncle Paul" of twins into their family. It was such a priviledge to work opposite of him for his last delivery of his career.
My memories of Spac are all fond. I will continue to emulate him as a spouse, parent and a physician.

I was so sad to hear of Dr. Spaccarelli's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. Dr. Spac was in the same practice with my OB/GYN, Dr. James Leonard, when I was expecting my daughter. I would see him on occasion when Dr. Leonard would be called to the hospital for a delivery. I could see why he and Dr. Leonard had such a thriving practice as they were so similar in the way they treated patients. Dr. Leonard had been keeping a close eye on my BP because it was so high and I will never forget the day I went in and Dr. Spac said I needed to go straight to the hospital because it had been too high for too long. I was so scared but he assured me that my baby and I would be fine. She was born the next day and I will be forever grateful for Dr. Spac's kindness and his assurance. I know that he and Dr. Leonard are having quite a reunion in Heaven. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

I knew Spac as my gynecologist and thank goodness I did. He found cancer very early in my body. At the time, he said I wouldn't die from this. He was right and I am still here. He led me to great oncologist. He was always looking out for me. I was devastated when he told me he was going to retire. He can never be replaced.

Nearly 28 years ago, Dr. Spaccarelli delivered my son. A few years after that when I, myself, had just turned 28, Dr. Spaccarelli was again pressed into delivery duty for our family—only this time, it was different. This time, labor never started. This time, my water broke before I got to the hospital. This time, I needed an emergency C-section. Spac took charge, yelling commands and demanding that nurses return from their breaks to assist. It was almost 2:30 AM when Spac delivered my daughter, Elizabeth; but because I had been so drugged from the surgery, a lot of it was a blur. I do recall, after the delivery when I was alone in the recovery room in the middle of the night, Spac came in to see me. He sat down on the side of my bed and started patting my leg. He said, "I've got some tough news for you. I don't deliver many babies like this, but I'm never wrong. She has Downs." At that time, I didn't know what he was talking about. DOWNS? What did that even mean? I decided from his tone that it probably wasn't good; and at that moment, I decided that I was going to leave my baby girl at the hospital, go home, and start all over again. As the hours passed, the sun rose, and reality began to seep in among the drugs, I began to understand exactly what Spac was trying to tell me. Soon after we went home came tests, hospitalizations, major surgeries, and a death-defying liver condition for my new baby. Spac would always ask after Beth and enjoyed, as she grew up, when I would bring her by for a visit. That beautiful little girl—the one born with Down syndrome into the gentle hands of a wonderful doctor and the one I had no clue how to raise—just celebrated her 25th birthday.
In later years, Spac also delivered my first grandchild. What a wonderful milestone that was for our family, and I'm sure it wasn't the first (or the last) multi-generational delivery he celebrated.
Dr. Spaccarelli was a phenomenal physician, a caring and compassionate man, and a loving human being. My heart hurts to learn of his passing, but I am grateful that his life path and mine crossed for so long. I truly loved him.

"Spac" and I are of the same vintage. I practiced General Surgery at Good Samaritan and he practiced OB-Gyn. I look back at his life and can say that I never saw him angry, and always found him to be a gentleman, and a kind, caring physician. I look with faith to the day when we shall all be reunited again and that thought and prayer goes to Lorraine and all his family. Sincerely, Bob

My heart was very sad to learn of Dr. Spaccarelli passing. I know God was glad to see him! He was a kind doctor and person. When I was 18 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who I was not able to take care of. Dr. Spac was a resident at Good Sam and delivered her. Twenty four years later she found me and we have a wonderful relationship. I spoke with Dr. Spac about her, as he remained my doc for many years. When he preformed my hysteromy 30 years after her birth he met my daughter Jennifer and shed some happy tears. When he told me he was going to leave private practice and train residents I was sad but also grateful for his willingness to teach and guide young doctors. He leaves a remarkable legacy and will be sorely missed. I share your loss and know so many lives were blessed by his presence.

I was one of the lucky ones to have been able to work for Dr. Spaccarelli. He was not only my boss, but my doctor and friend. He never liked to keep his patients waiting, he did his best to always be on time. He truly was the most caring and compassionate man ever. He was the kind of doctor who would listen and calm your fears. He got me and my daughters through some scary times. I could call him at any hour and he was always there for me. He was truly a gift to all of us and we will miss him. Lorraine, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Heaven has a very special angel.

Paul has a special place in the hearts of our family. He was my late wife's (Judy (nee)Nieporte) ob-gyn and his care for Judy (and her mother Jule) was absolutely the best. I will never forget how supportive Paul was to me when Judy lost her battle with ovarian cancer. He was the epitome of a great physician, father, husband, etc. What a great loss to everyone who came in contact with him. May he rest in peace with the angels and saints. What a great man.

I count that day in the late '70s that a friend referred me to "Spac" as a doctor as the luckiest in our family's life. Though I was only looking for a routine exam, I found a caring and gentle doctor able to mix patience and understanding with science, medicine and a sense of humor. We progressed through so many stages of care . . . from routine early exams to birth control, fertility treatment, an eventual successful pregnancy,countless sonograms, the delivery of healthy triplets and on through menopause . . . and I always felt I was traveling the road with a friend and confidant. His office was like a second home for me for eight months, and he was masterful at allaying our fears. Later, during annual visits, I looked forward to hearing about his own children and Lorraine and sharing the little moments in life that make families so special. And every year on April 11, our sons' birthday, I still celebrate to myself and say a little prayer of thanks that God sent "Spac" into my life to make a miracle reality for us. His was a life well-lived professionally, religiously and as a loving father and husband. Our thoughts are with you.

I wasn't sure what to think of Dr. Spaccarelli when I first started seeing him as an OB/GYN patient, but I grew to love him. Spac got me through some pretty rough times, and for that, I will always be grateful. When he told me at my last appointment with him that he was going to retire from his practice, I remember saying, "Spac, I knew this day was coming. But I want you to know that you're like a good bra: Nobody likes trying them on; but once you find one you like, you just keep going back every year and getting a new one." He said, "I'm not sure I understand the analogy, but I appreciate the sentiment." I'll never forget that conversation, because it was our last. I am blessed to have had his presence in my life and the life of my family. I send my most heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Spaccarelli, his kids, grandkids and siblings--because Spac was absoutely one of a kind. God bless you, Spac, and THANK YOU.

Lorraine and family! Paul was a conscientious, compassionate, caring and extremely devoted Obstetrician Gynecologist...In his practice he has touched literally thousands of women, babies and their families. As a Pro Life Doctor it seems only fitting that he passed the day after the National Pro Life Rally in Washington, D.C. He was very generous and caring to our family and for this I will be forever filled with gratitude. Lorraine and Paul were a wonderful couple, always caring for others. Paul was a wonderful friend of my Late husband Ken Albers and myself....He will be sorely missed as a very fine Catholic Doctor...
