    My sincerest condolences to the family of Ricardo Spencer. Our friend whom we’ve known for nearly 40 years, He was a gentle giant, always worked hard – yep he worked on my car many times, was a great cook, and kept me with fresh water fish. He was a loving husband and father. He will be sorely missed!
