To the family and co workers of Dr Spaar my heartfelt sympathies. I unfortunately just learned of Dr Spaar's passing and I was filled with sadness.I'm remembering all the lunches and fun times we had at the office lunches. I always enjoyed his stories of trips to Puerto Rico with his wife and his plans for the future. Dr Spaar was a true gentleman and professional and will be greatly missed in the community.

May God bless his family and hold them tight in this very difficult time.

Sincerely,
Michele O'Connell

Having retired from ACCESS four years ago I have many fond memories of my seventeen there,but Dr. Spaar with his sense of humor and his childish practical jokes (that I was victim to one more then one occasion)are among my favorite.
Always a gentleman and caring physician but above all else his love and respect for his wife Zori made him a very special man.
My condolences to Zori and his family.

I retired from ACCESS four years ago and have fond memories from my seventeen years, but Dr Spaar and his wicked sense of humor and his childish practical jokes(that I was victim to on more then one occasion) are among my favorites. Dr. Spaar was always a gentleman and cared for his patients welfare. Above all else his love and respect for his wife Zori made him a very special person. My condolences to Zori and family
