"Spike" was my closest friend for 52 years. I do not mourn his death, but instead I celebrate his life. His was a kind and gentle soul and yet he was a man of tremendous courage and honor. If he shook your hand, it was better than money in the bank. My son, Michael, and I will miss him very much, but he will be in our hearts forever. Rest in eternal peace, my old friend.

Ceal and family, I bid farewell to Spike, my friend of over 50 years, as he embarks on this journey that we all must make at some time. From just hanging around, to double dating, to selling shoes together, I have enjoyed the company of this friend. Spike was responsible for me meeting the girl that I have been married to for over 43 years, for this I am forever grateful. May Spike rest in God's Eternal Peace. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Roy & Cam

Spike, sorry I did not want to share my cubed steak and french fries.

Dear Ceal, I was recalling that Sat. in 1967 when "Joe" introduced Carlos to me at Thom McAn's. Fast forward 44 years, 38 years of marriage, to Oct. 9, 2011. Carlos passes away and less than a month Joe joins him.
Ceal, I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of our loss never goes away, only the passing of time makes it different. May God be with us until we join our beloved.
