GLEN A. SPENCER
Glen [Arlin] Spencer was born in Bedford on January 30, 1914. He died on January 11, 1996 at Oak Manor Village in Largo, Florida. He was 81 years old.
Glen grew up in Bedford, Iowa with five brothers and two sisters. Glen married Ruth Croy and in the forties they moved to Buffalo, New York where their only son, David, was born. Glen worked for twenty-five years as a master diesel mechanic for Dow and Co.
When Ruth and Glen retired they moved to Largo, Florida where they lived in a mobile home park. Glen learned to play shuffleboard; he enjoyed bingo and playing pool. He was handy around the park and was a jack-of-all-trades who liked helping to fix things for his friends around the park. Glen was devoted to Ruth and for the last eight years of her life took loving care of her every need.
Glen was a quiet, simple man who didn't say something unless he had something to say. Silence was a welcomed thing, especially if nothing needed to be said. He was a man who loved his family and was proud of his son David, daughter in law Carol and two grandchildren Karen and Jeffrey.
Glen was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, a sister and his wife Ruth.
He will be remembered by his son David and his family--- Carol, Karen and Jeffrey. He will also be remembered by his two brothers Albert and Galen, and sister Julia Foster, several nieces and nephews and many friends.
Glen will be missed by many, but we thank God for Glen's life, for the dignity and grace which characterized all he did, and for all he gave to those whose lives his life touched.
Services provided by the Novinger Taylor Funeral Home on January 19,1996. His final resting place is Fairview Cemetery.
