William Spencer Obituary

Bill passed away unexpectedly on September 8, 2014 in Denver at the age of 70. Bill is survived by his sweetie, Jamie, daughters Whitney (Austin), Alix (Brian), Krista (Kenny) and grandchildren Tyler, Preston, Karter, Kamden, and Evelyn. One of seven children, Bill was born in Independence, KS to Ila and Maude. He discovered Colorado and was beckoned by its majestic mountains to relocate here. Having survived 2 cancers in the last 3 years, Bill enjoyed his retirement from the business world fishing, biking, gardening, travelling, volunteering, and most of all, taking Karter to Bass Pro Shop. We will cherish Bill's wit, kindness, patience, zest for life and love in our memories. As per Bill's wishes, there will be no services. Sweet dreams, Bill.

What a great neighbor and "snow angel"! Bill always said, "Can I help?" I will never forget this friendly man who made me feel so welcome in my new Mayfair neighborhood and then helped me move three years later.

Bill was a dear friend to me and very special to my children. He was their Uncle and Santa. His "outfit" got better every year and my kids enjoyed his performance long after they knew the truth about Santa. I knew him to be a kind, gentle and loving person. Although I had not seen him for many years, I will miss him. My sympathy to his family and all who were close to him.
