Cherish the memories.
Sparky was a kindhearted person and it was such a shock to learn of his death. I wasn’t aware of the memorial that was held on 3/24/13 or I would have attended. He will be missed….a senseless loss.
I knew Sparky for many years through our working relationship as well as our friendship.He was a kind person who enjoyed helping others and had a real gift for fixing or repairing almost anything. My thoughts are with the family and Lori at this senseless tragic loss. May his soul rest in peace. Ben Spitzer
Sparky was a special person to everyone he knew and will be missed but the memories will last forever.
RIP Sparky
RIP Buddy!
Dear Sherry and Teresa,
