I met Spencer. aka Spike when I went to the Daley for 9th grade. We were in the same section, attended LHS and Northern Essex with him as well. Having come from 8 sheltered years at St. Margaret's, many "established" students at the Daley were not friendly, but Spike immediately spoke to me, we had a lot of fun in our classes at the Daley.I loved him. He was so kind and gentle, always soft spoken, the voice of reason, I can hear his voice now. My sympathy to his family.

I am so Sorry on hearing of the passing of your Dad. I am the Supervisor at Lowell Heritage State Park on Pawtucket Blvd. I saw and talked to your dad quite often as he would be taken his morning walk on the Blvd. Every spring I would print him out a list of events here at the park so he would know when not to walk the Blvd. Once again so Sorry for your Loss.
