I didn't know about him until recently. He seemed to be very prolific and I have enjoyed hearing what I've heard from him. My condolences to his family and friends.

There was a beautiful celebration of Spencer's life in New Orleans on Sunday. Marilyn and the family were embraced by hundreds of old friends.


Here's a beautifully written obituary by Keith Spera of the New Orleans Advocate https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans ... 30d6e.html

and another loving obit from his hometown Casper WY
