Mary and I will personally miss Bob very much. He meant a lot to us. Bob was such an interesting person who loved life.

Bob will be missed by the whole extended Spencer family. Through his work searching and compiling the family genealogy and his efforts bringing us together at reunions he was the glue that kept us connected.

Thank you Bob.

I had the great privilege of being neighbor and close friend to Bob and Mary for many years. Their friendship and consul meant very much to me and to this day their influence has enhanced my life. I am sorry that we all have lost such a special person and I am glad that he was treated with love and special care right up to the end - he deserved and earned it.
With many fond memories,

Karen,Paul and family,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. I know that, eventually, thoughts of your father/husband/grandfather will bring a smile rather than sorrow and hope that the love of family and friends will help console you until then. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
With love, Irene DiMaria
