He was born February 5, 1942, in Leopold, Missouri, to Benjamin J. and Clara Beel Spooler. He and Joann Eldracher were married November 24, 1962, at St. John's Catholic Church in Leopold.

He was preceded in death by an infant great-granddaughter, Thea Litchfield; two brothers, Elmer (Vanita) Spooler and Lester (Anna Clara) Spooler; a young sister, Minnie Spooler; an infant brother, Eugene Spooler; and his parents.
Visitation is from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m., Saturday, September 3, 2022, at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson.
