Am sorry to learn of Spencer’s passing. I worked closely with him at Marian. He was a great guy, always a smile on his face, spreading cheer. He was a joy to work with. -Phil T.
I worked with Spencer at Marian Inc., he was a great gentleman and had me laughing often. He loved his grandson Michael and talked about him often to me. Spencer sold me Michael’s bike for my son (Spencer like to make money – LOL) but gave my son lots of books and toys he had purchased for Michael. We still have the BIG Book with Big Bird and Sesame Street. My condolences to the family, Spencer was a kind man. – Marilyn Adams.
