Spank was known for his ability to do just about anything with his hands. He was the family mechanic, builder, innovator and handyman. Over the years he used his talents at the First Church of the Nazarene to help with many projects especially in the children’s department.
The man we knew wasn’t the same man dementia took. However, he retained his joy at seeing Sally and the kids and Lucy, the dog he didn’t know he wanted. He loved going to family dinner a couple of times a week and playing bingo. We could always depend on a hello and goodbye with a smile, kiss and a wink, even as he struggled with dementia.
