I'm very saddened to hear of his loss. Dr. Spiekerman was one of my favorite professors at the University of Washington; he was a helpful and kind teacher. He was a valued scientist, and his family can be justly proud of his contributions. I will always remember him with respect. I wish to convey my deepest sympathy and extend my condolences to his family. I hope that time and memories will help them lessen the burden of their sorrow. He is in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences - Our thoughts and prayers are with Chuck's family.
