On Aug 20, 2009, Donald H Spencer left this world to join his wife Sylvia and our Lord in Heaven. He was 83. Born May 18, 1926, Don was a kind and generous person who never met a stranger. He loved music, and taught himself to play harmonica at age 8. He greatly enjoyed entertaining those he met with a song, whether they were family, friends, or a new acquaintance.
Don loved his country and enlisted in the Navy as soon as he was old enough. He also served briefly in the Coast Guard, and continued to serve his country for 34 years with pride in the Merchant Marines. He was a member of the American Legion, the Loyal Order of Moose, the American Numismatic Association, and loved to travel, garden, grow fruit & vegetables, and meet new friends. He cherished and trusted the Lord to guide him in life, and took great comfort from inspirational reading and music. Don was kind and generous to all he met, loved his family with pride and joy, and always saw the good side of people.
He is survived by his daughters Anne-Marie and Janette, brothers Fred and Harley and a large extended family.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Memorial services will be held at 4:00 PM on Friday, August 28, 2009 in the Garden Chapel, Mountain View Funeral Home.
