SPINOZA - Rick Spinoza of Woodbury, Connecticut died at Danbury Hospital on New Year's Eve 2014 at the age of 80. Rick was a consummate home-improver who loved real estate, gardening, oil painting, cooking, a good card game, and dining with family and friends.

Rick had a giant smile and an even bigger heart. He is sorely missed and was much loved by his life-partner of over 30 years, his two daughters, five grandchildren, ex-wife/mother of his children, and countless others whose lives he touched in so many ways.
