I was a frend of Spike's growing up. My fondest memory of him was playing baseball in the big park in Willowbank. We would play all day untill one of our mom's would make us come home at dark. He was usually the pitcher and being lanky could put a good zing on the ball. I miss him and am very sad for your loss.
