Dear Ann, my sincere condolences in your loss. I knew Spence for about 40 years through our mutual hobby of Ham Radio. We have all missed having Spence with us on Sunday mornings in recent years on the AM net, and now mourn in his loss. We also shared many good stories about the Merchant Marine days. It was good to know Spence, and I will miss him. God Bless, Donovan W. Case, VE1BDC

Dear Ann,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Spencer was one of a kind, with and such wit and character. I still have a slip of cactus that he had given me years ago , and oh the stories and didn’t he love to tinker and fix things! While I haven’t seen him in years I know he was well looked after with you by his side. Take care
