James Ross "Jim" Spencer

Hard to believe it´s been 17 years since his passing. He was my best buddy growing up and I still miss him.

Hi Dad, Thinking about you on the day you left this earth 16 years ago. You are loved & missed. I think you would appreciate your granddaughter´s artistic ability. She definitely takes after you!

I still miss my brother even though it's been 13 years since his death. I know how much joy seeing and being with his grandchildren would have brought to his life.

It has now been 12 years since Jim has passed. Knowing that we have five grandchildren together, it seems very sad to me. Jim missed so much joy from his family. He would be so proud and amazed by these incredible changes. I have his paintings and covid stopped me from selling them this past year. Liz, my good friend, is excited about getting them out into the world. They are valuable to us! I still have Jim's Scoma picture above my office desk. Jim had worked at Captain of the Port,...

To Erika, Kris, and Matthew, It is so hard to believe that it has been 12 years since your father passed away. I know he sees how successful, happily married, and wonderful parents you are. You all have his talent in many different ways. I ALWAYS remember Jim as I drive pass Moss landing. He is there in his favorite element the ocean and part of it now. I now have all his art and will be keeping his legacy alive. Love mom

October 6, 2014. Ira passed away last night. We all had so many memories since Ira would attend all my parents' parties along with Jim. It was fun when everyone was young and vibrant. And Erika, Kris, Matt, Kevin and Michael were all running around. Now we have all those wonderful grandchildren. Jim would be excited to see his new namesake and also my dad, James Bernard Spencer. They are such a wonderful gift from God.

So, now Ira will be able to say hello to Barney, Jo, Jim, Jim...

Tomorrow it will be 6 years since Jim joined his mother Velma, grandmother Mac, step mother Alta! I always think about what Jim has missed. Missing this Christmas with Brendan and Gavin and the electric cars was so poignant. Those two boys have inherited Jim's car passion and are being trained by Kristoffer to care for the cars. What a scene that was! And I wonder if Jim sees the progress Kristoffer has made with the Ford! A new color this year and body change...

Hi Dad,
Yesterday it was five years since you passed away. It's hard to believe how fast the time has passed. I think about you often and when I look up at the stars I see your bright light shining. Miss and love you, Dad.
