Not sure what to say?

i think of Mr. Spoor often as a friend of his daughter i got to know him somewhat. one christmas after a personal tragedy he gave me a large gift. i will always remember him and his wife . with respect and love

My sincere condolences Molly, Cindy & Lincoln.
Your father was a wonderful man. He was always kind & sincere. It was an honor & privilege to work for him & Janet since their move to Salt Lake City. They will be missed & forever remembered. I loved coming up & working with them both.

Melanie, Cynthia, William and Family,

Deepest Sympathy

I never new him, however please know that he is safe in God's memory. No one's life is ever forgotten by God. So sorry for your loss.

I never met the man--But he sounds like a good family man, friend, and a guy you'd like to fish with, and share a few beers afterwards telling "the truth" about the catches of the day.
Rest in peace, fellow fisherman.

What an incredible life story! Your father and grandfather modeled so many positive examples of how to live a meaningful life. Above and beyond his professional accomplishments, service to our country and philanthropy, his 63-year loving marriage and the legacy of children and grandchildren shine on as his most meaningful achievements. My thoughts are with you, Cindy, Doug, Anna and Charlie. I'm so glad he spent his last years here where you could be together often! Lots of love,

I loved taking care of your dad. He will forever be special to me. His smile would brighten my day. I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad he got to do everything the way he wanted to.

Spoor family, I was saddened to learn of Bill's passing.My sincere condolences to all of you at this time of loss

Dear Children of Bill......My husband Myron worked with him and I have fond memories of the time we spent with him and your mother at one of the Kentucky Derbies. I found him always fun to be with, and I really learned a lot from your mom...Janet M. Roeder
