When I heard the news it came as a shock. I remember Spunky as a kid growing up in the old neighborhood. He was a typical guy causing some mischief and many laughs. I had not seen him in years and ran into him on the street. He hugged me and was as nice as could be. What a fine man he turned into. I am deeply sorry for your loss and thank you for allowing him in this world long enough for me to know him. God Bless!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I certainly know what a HUGE hole this loss is going to leave in our lives. Over the last few days the four of us have sat and laughed and reminissed about all of the funny times we shared with Spunky. He SO loved spending time at the horses and tigers with Steve! - Steve is so deeply mourning his loss. Spunky was such a big hearted guy and would do anything for anyone! We'll miss you Spunk! - Love you man!

Aunt Sharon,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Spunky was and always will be a great man and will forever live in our hearts. At times like these it is always hard to remember the good times but when it came to Spunky thats all there ever was. I will miss him as will everyone who ever met him. He touched so many people and always made life seem a little bit better. I love him and will think of him everyday.

With Love,
