Today is not the time to think about what we have lost, But rather to remember the life of a great husband,father,grandfather, and friend. Let each of us whose lives he touched find comfort and support in one another. Let us share our love, our memories, our thoughts, and our prayers. May God bless this day and each day to come. We all love you and know that your looking down on us each and every day. You will be with us forever. Dear sweet husband of Jacquelyn Spahn, father of Seven boy's, Jack,Mick,Jim,Tom,Bob,Tim and P.D.
