Dr. Robert M. Spector

A Cousin Laments the Fractured Circle

It is tough to convey how much Dr. Robert Spector's persona enhanced the family circle. As a cousin-in-law entering the family around the same time that Robert's wonderful wife Charlotte did, I have a special perspective, up-close and amazed. It was not just the lovely music that he wrote for his wife to celebrate their marriage, or the piece that he wrote and performed to salute his parents on their fiftieth wedding anniversary, or those that...

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Spector. Dr. Spector is the reason I am a lawyer and history buff today. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am fortunate enough to have been one of Dr. Spector's students at Worcester State College, and I will never forget the depth of his knowledge he possessed of American Colonial History, as well as his passion for Law.

Every day I try to share the passion that Dr. Spector had for history with my own students, and I know that my happy memories of Dr. Spector in the lecture halls of Worcester State will live with me forever.

He was a rare gentleman- God Bless Him.

He once said that he would give any person an A in his class if they threw a brick through the classroom window in protest of something. If they did that then they would have truly understood what he was trying to teach us.

Dr. Spector was a great man, and educator. He will be deeply missed by many students, family, and friends. I am thankful for the opportunity to have such a passionate man as a teacher. My prayers to go out to his family.

It's been 30 years since I was a student in his class at WSC, but I still remember and appreciate Dr. Spector. My sincere condolences to his family.

I remember Dr. Spector as Principal of the Jewish Community Religious School. I was a 10 year old student at the time, yet I can picture him so clearly in my mind. He wanted so much for us to achieve. I will miss his dedication as an educator.

Some of my fondest memories of college are from Dr. Spector's classes; specificially his Mass Murder and the Holcaust and Consitutional Law I and II
He will be surely missed.. My thoughts and prayers are with the Spector family.
