Not sure what to say?

Bill Spofford was the first adult who spoke to me as an adult. He was our priest in the early '50s in Weiser, and a friend for life. He taught me what it was to "love life" and to be grateful for it. He was and will always be a role model for me. The world is a poorer place for his passing.

Lake Creek on Its Way to the Metolius

Bill and Polly were valued members of our cabin group in Camp Sherman, Oregon, for many years, and are missed. Their cabin, which they called "Agape House", continues to be warmed by their friendly and companionable spirit to this day.

On behalf of everyone here in The Pines, we send our condolences to the Spofford Family and hope you'll all come back to help us remember them in the years ahead.

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the promises from the God of all comfort "you will by no means weep. He will without fail show you favor at the sound of your outcry; as soon as he hears it he will actually answer you." Isaiah 30:19

He was a great man who I worked with in Cove Oregon 1972-1973 at the summer camp. He and Polly were a happy couple!
