    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
