Spencer Perkins was a giver; and when he gave, he gave with his whole heart. When he walked into the room, it began with the giving of his contagious smile.

His loving , giving spirit continued to pour out…

Roy and Marjorie Daw were born in Oklahoma. He was her older brother’s best friend from age 11.
