Melody & I want to express our sincerest condolences to the entire Spang family. Ron & I have been friends since we were 5 years old. In 1965, Ron asked me if I'd take his cousin, who was visiting from Milwaukee, out. I said yes, and we've been married for 52 years. Even though we hadn't seen each other much in the last few years, we always enjoyed the times we were able to get together. Rest in Peace My Friend.
