Grace and Family;
It is with great sadness that I send condolences and prayers on the loss of Spook on behalf the the Emil (Stoffie) and Lempi (Takala) Stefani family. He was such an integral part of life in Black Eagle and as such, BE has again suffered a great loss of the earlier generations. Life in Black Eagle was enriched by the elder generations we were privileged to live around and it's a great loss that it has slowly dissipated for the younger generations. May you find comfort in the memories you hold.
