William F. Spreen

Hi Dad, It has been 4 years now that you have passed. It seems like yesterday. I will love you always. I miss the advice you could have given today. Sometimes I really wish I could talk to now. Although I can figure probably what you would say. Your words were always so wise. Love Ken

Ken,
I have nothing but found memories of your dad...I remember getting off the school bus at Samuel R Donald in kindergarten being greeted by a well dressed handsome smiling man...that was 1967. I am really glad that I got to know you and talk about him from time to time. God Bless you he is at peace.

Dad, I miss you so much. I think about you everyday. It is hard to believe you are not here. I still had some many things to ask you. You always gave us great advise. Sometimes I stop and think what would dad say. I miss that. I miss how you would smile or laugh when we would come by for a visit or just call. Well I will always keep you in my heart.

Love Ken

Dad I miss you very much. I can't believe it's been 2 years. I think about you everyday. I think about how great a man you were and a wonderful father. I could only hope to be a fraction of the person you were.
Love you always, Ken

Mr. Spreen was the principal at the Martha B. Day School when I started kindergarten. I'm not sure how he always knew my name. In fact, I'm not quite sure why I remember him so vividly.

Rest in peace

I remember always looking forward to going to Uncle Bill's. He had the best yard where Tommy, Kenny, & I would run around like crazy reenacting scenes from the Bionic Man. Tiki torches always lit & picnic tables full of food. A home of warmth & joy. Billy possessed the heart of the Spreen family. We'll miss him dearly.

Grandpa was the most wonderful man i have ever met. he was in world war 2 that amazed me. i love how he got to his 60th anniversary. he made it to 85. he always did shake your hand well and he always told me to.grandpa will always have millions of memories in all of us. love,brad spreen

Uncle Bill had the looks and stature of a great president, the charisma of nobleman, and the firmest handshake I ever had the pleasure of. He IS an amazing man and loved eternally by his family. I am honored to be called a Spreen. You will always be with us. What amazing times under the Pavalion!!! A Spreen toast to Uncle Billy.
Love
Todd

So many great memories over the years. Uncle Billy was a great man and the leader of our wonderfully close family for so many years. He will certainly be missed but never forgotten. I am sorry I cannot be back home to mourn with you and reminice about all the great times we all shared together growing up. So sorry.

Love
