Attached a 1982 article I found that mentions George Spendolini referencing New Britain where he came from and his "meritorious service to Connecticut boxing. George Spendolini I then found on Find a Grave......DOB 4 Jul 1912, DOD 23 Feb 1985, George J. Spendolini on the burial stone along with he served in WW2 in the Army. Burial Saint Mary Cemetery, New Britain, Hartford County. Conn. . Think this is all good enough info to update the KO Spendolini entry and his one fight shown against Hub Parker to George Spendolini.
I'm going to make up a rating file for him. Do a little investigating more to see what else I might find fights for him.
Attached Article is from The Morning Union, Springfield, MA May 16, 1982
