Not sure what to say?

Years ago , when I started at St. Mary’s hospital in Hobart., He was our Supervisor. I’ll never forget his smile and kindness. I can’t tell only see him smiling. What a great memory to leave this earth with a smile, his laugh, and kindness. Your body will now rest. But his soul is now with the lord. Godbless Judy whom I worked side by side. & also a brief time with Mary Beth . I send prayers for the whole Spence Family

Great neighbor!

Rest in peace.

Judy so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. You’re in my thoughts at this very difficult time. Much love to you and your family.

So so sorry to hear this, Judy. Prayers for peace and comfort.

Thoughts and prayers with Judy and entire family

I remember his cheerful attitude. He always wore a smile and he enjoyed sharing the Rosary with us before Daily Mass as long has he was able.

I used to baby set for Judy and Jim as they went bowling ...Jim and Judy always made sure I got home safe on the next street....it's Ben over fifty years. Judy I'll keep u and family in my prayers. Love Theresa Wiggins Wood.

I enjoyed the years I worked with Jim and Judy at St. Mary Medical. Praying for the family.
