To The Spicer Family;
My condolences to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. Spicer(Eli), will always be remembered for his kind and giving nature. Both He and Mrs. Spicer(Elli), will always hold a special place in my heart! As well as, the entire Spicer Family!
During the years I was employed by The Spicers, they were more than employers...Mr. Spicer will always be remembered as my mentor and Mrs. Spicer remembered as Mom.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Spicer families. Eli was trying to make it to 100 he told me just days before he passed. I knew him only for a short time but he stole a piece of my heart with that smile and twinkle that others have mentioned. Our talks and visits were priceless and I am going to miss stopping by on the way home to grab a hug and smooch. As he told me often he led a very full life and was so proud of his family.

I worked for Eli many years, but he was more of a friend to me than an employer. I will always remember his kindness ,help and concern he showed for me. His smile and words of encouragement helped me through some very trying times! One the most vivid memory's I have is the time Eli spoke to me about was how life is like a dream. Eli," Row row row your boat gently down a stream , Merrily, merrily ,merrlly, merrily, life is but a dream! SWEET DREAMS ELI . My prayers and thoughts to your family.

This is from all of your friends at World Gym. We will miss your smiling face, your great wit, and the love for staying healthy and fit no matter what your age. Miss you Eli

Eli, what a gentleman!

I'll cherish these memories...

Fondly,
