Henry Spencer Obituary
Henry Morgan (Terry) Spencer III of Wilbraham, MA, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014, surrounded by the love of his family after a very long illness. Born on July 10, 1948, in Springfield, MA, Terry was the son of the late Morgan and Evelyn (Clarke) Spencer. He was raised in Bloomfield, CT, and graduated from the Loomis School and Dartmouth College. Terry served as Assistant Director of Operations for ARA Services (The Terrace Room/Cloud 9) at Bradley Field Airport in the 70s and Vice President of Marketing for Brennan College Services in the 80s. He then formed his own company, Spencer Associates, using his gift for writing and humor to assist other companies with their marketing needs until his illness forced him to retire. Even then, he was always willing to do a favor for a good cause. However, Terry's greatest joy in life was simply being able to see his children grow into the wonderful people they are today. Terry leaves to cherish his memory his wife Judy (Campfield) Spencer; two children, Morgan and Sam; two stepchildren, Joe Pioggia and Gina Pioggia (Adam); two grandchildren, Aidan and Simone; and his sister Judy Henderson (Bill) and brother Jonathan of South Windsor, CT. Calling hours will be on Sat., Nov. 8, 2014, from 10am-12pm at Byron Keenan Funeral Home, 1858 Allen St. in Springfield. A service will immediately follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The National MS Society, P.O. Box 4527, New York, NY 10163

“Look for Terry,
For though he is now
Lighter than your thoughts,
You will recognize the effervescence
Of his spirit
Where all trails
Beckon”
My brother was a lifeguard with Terry and what a 'fun' crew that was~! Terry had a quick wit and a genuinely kind and gentle soul. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing.

He was the best — and I'll miss him so terribly, but I'm truly glad he is finally free. It was a long journey.
