Not sure what to say?

The demise of John Spector, to me, is the end of a very special era.

My uncle Irwin Krug's office on Main St in Willimantic, CT was where I met and came to know several of the local attorneys seeking practical experience from my uncle. John was one of those attorneys. He opened a law practice there, alongside Irwin, staying for sometime.

John, much like his father Dr Spector, was a gentleman, always, and his greeting for me was "Hi Kid"!

Contact was lost over the years...

I had the pleasure of working alongside John in numerous Windham Theatre Guild productions. John truly brought to life the phrase a gentleman and a scholar. He had a charismatic presence on the stage, but was a gentle giant and a joy to work with. I have fond memories of his performances. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
