I met Spike as a young girl in the late 1970´s, he worked quite a bit with my Mom and Step-Dad during development of QUAD, Inc., a non-profit that advocates independent living spinal cord individuals. Great guy who taught me so much about business and people, as he patiently answered all my questions. Or he´d send me to Gary Ward, MD. Sorry to hear this sad news and for your family´s loss

We have so many cherishedmemories of Spike and his family on the holidays. What a wonderful man!Love, Annette.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I was a nurse in Dr. Hal´s office on 21st. Street, a good doctor and a wonderful experience!!

I´m sorry to hear about the passing of Spike. I always enjoyed my lunches with him and Barbara. Good times to say the least. I hope time and friends will help the entire clan heal, especially Tara. Love Pat Maguire
