Spencer started working at age 14 to help his Dad in the cotton fields. Then at age 18, he worked as a tool and die mechanic until the 1980’s when he started working security. In 1993, he started driving trucks, where he enjoyed seeing the different places he would go. After 14 years he came off the road and started working at a local convenience store for the past eight years because he just had to work to stay busy.
A memorial service will be determined at a later date. Flowers may be sent to the funeral home.
