We remember the backyard fireworks especially and I always met Clyde walking on Jennifer where we would reminisce for over ten minutes!

Sending all our love to you, Phyllis, Heather, Greg, and Jenny. Phyllis, you and Clyde are a special pair- strong, family loving, caring, and, well, memorable. Clyde’s smile, your home, your circle of family… We hope you can hold on to and cherish those special moments and memories and to each other tightly. On our wedding day you were on your Australian adventure - one of many adventures together. Special times. The Mexico photos are amazing and you are in our thoughts.

Phyllis and Heather I'm sorry very sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. My deepest condolences go to both of you and your family. It will be a difficult time but always keep him in your conversations and think of all of wonderful memories you all had together. Take care.

My deepest condolences to Clyde's family. I worked with Clyde as a cable repair tech. and was on the health & safety committee with him for over A decade, we shared many laughs driving back and forth from Chatham every month and taking the train to Toronto for OCC. A true gentleman who never said a bad thing about anyone. You will be missed my old friend.

Please know that you are in my thoughts, and if there's anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Clyde and I were first cousins. Although we had not kept in regular contact since our early years. I still remember playing with Clyde at the Spencer home on Victoria Street, as Clyde was older than me, we went our separate ways when it was time for high school. After university, I moved to Toronto then to Victoria, BC. My mother was a Spencer. One time when Nancy and I were back in London on a visit, we had lunch with Joan and Ted Clark (Clyde’s sister) where the idea of a Spencer family reunion was conceived. Clyde was one of nineteen grandchildren of Major General Alexander Charles Spencer and Barbara Ross Spencer. With a lot of help from Clyde’s daughter Heather, a Spencer reunion was held at Spencer Hall. A great time was had by all, including grandchildren, great grandchildren and a couple of great-great grandchildren of A C Spencer’s. Phyllis, Heather, Greg and of course Jenny, please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your husband and father. Jeffery and Nancy Moses Victoria, BC

A donation has been made to PHSS Medical & Complex Care in Community. Message from the donator: Heather & Family, I am so very sorry for your family's loss. I never met Mr. Spencer but, through knowing Heather since UWO, I can tell he was a great father who valued hard work, honest, integrity and taking care of his family. Fathers with those qualities are rare and obviously will be missed. My family's prayers to yours during this difficult time. Donation made in lieu of flowers as per family request. ~ Sauro Family

I knew Clyde many, many years ago - just after I first moved to London (1971). I even remember when he and Phyllis were planning their marriage. However, after my then boyfriend and I split up, I lost track of Clyde and Phyllis, and, literally, have not seen them since. I wish that I had managed to stay in contact, as they were two of the warmest, most genuine and sincere people it has ever been my privilege to know, even though my "knowledge" of them was so limited. I gather that something happened, very quickly, and unexpectedly, which makes me even sorrier that I did not maintain the contact or the friendship - it is, for a certainty, not only my loss, but a pronounced loss for all who knew them. I truly hope that Phyllis and her family can take some comfort in the knowledge that others, too, will be grieving Clyde's loss. Valerie

Clyde will be missed. He has been a part of our story since the beginning. Phyllis and Clyde were supporters of my move to Australia and getting permission to immigrate. Clyde coached Andrew in downhill skiing and always had a laugh and a story to share when we caught up. We are so happy that we were able to catch up with Phyllis and Clyde in December. The stories will continue in memory of Clyde and his impact. The photo is in 2006.

Sending my love and support during this difficult time Phyllis, Heather and family. I am so glad you had a wonderful family trip this year and took such beautiful photos. May those memories be forever captured and held close to your heart.

My deep condolences to Phyllis, Heather, and your family. I came to know Clyde through you both as a loving, caring, father and husband. You'll miss him so very much. May those many bright and touching memories help you through.

Condolences to Phyllis, Heather, Greg, Jenny and all of Clyde’s family. Clyde was a friend to the entire journalism class of 1991 at Western University. He was so supportive of Phyllis and all the rest of us in that class. I enjoyed every conversation with Clyde over the years. He will be missed.

My condolences to Clyde's family at this sad news. I worked with Clyde for many years and always found him to be a generous and humorous man. I always enjoyed his company. The world has lost a true gentleman.

My sincere condolences to Clyde's family. I went to public school with Clyde and regard him as an old friend. Your description of him is totally in keeping with the Clyde I knew in the 1960's. He was always a good person.
