DAVID SPENCER

Family and friends gathered together in Cook’s Chapel a week ago today to honour the life of this remarkable man. Wonderful memories and tributes offered in celebration and reflection of Dave’s life.

I believe that by my toil,
I am giving more to the world
Than I am taking from it,
An honour that does not come to all men.

His Life Lived…
His Life Cherished…
His Life Honoured.
