Read MoreI just discovered this in 2024. I worked for Spike, as we called him, at the Galery and rented his house while I was in grad school at ISU. A great guy. Rest in peace Spike.

I got to know spike after all the time I spent at the gallery. I practically live there for about three or four years, I love the place. Spike was always good to me and he was a good friend.

Spike and I attended Fenger Jr College at the same time, leading to our partnership opening the Galery in Normal. So sorry to hear of his passing. We made a donation to ASPCA in his name

I met Spike when I was about 12, he was friend of my parents Bob Andy Judy Humenick. Spike was always writing the great American novel. I will miss the smile on his face, the joke or story he was telling. I will miss him dearly Todd
