You are at the top of my list of inspirations and you are a legend if no one’s told you before. Rest up you beautiful soul.

You inspired me. We became friends through that blog and I wish so much that I could read it again because it was wonderful. Here I am, now over 8 years sober, and I miss you. I wonder what it is like where you are. I wish your light had burned a little longer, but it was not to be.

The bravery with which you shared the last 12 months of your life here with all who were willing to read is appreciated, and although I never met you in person on earth, you are at the top of my after-life contact list to look up when I get there for a meeting and chat. I look forward to that, because great people here on mortal earth aren't always in ample supply, it seems they tend to go where you are. I sincerely look forward to joining you my friend, whenever my time to do so is handed to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2547612753018539023.post-30875942491144876172011-10-07T08:08:36.889+01:002011-10-07T08:08:36.889+01:00I miss Spencer.

I always told Spencer there was a place to crash at my house if he ever came Down Under, and he often remarked that hopefully one day we would meet. Unfortunately, that never come to pass. I've too had my own recent ongoing health issues, though somehow that seems to fall into insignificance when I see what he's been through. It's been quite some time since I've 'checked' in with him. This news has just reached and hit me.<br /><br />I know he loved his music, so as soon as I am able I'm going to head off to a live performance of a good band here in the city. Except I won't be alone. I know his spirit will be with me. So Spence, mate, I'm not going to say goodbye. I'll say see you at the gig. Looking forward to it. We'll raise a glass of non-alcoholic beverage, and have a laugh. Later, we might even finally take that meditation together. <br /><br />Michael Poole <br />Sydney, Australia <br />http://michael-tresfabsweetie.blogspot.comMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634466598001388788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2547612753018539023.post-56351324641777374512011-05-23T08:57:36.117+01:002011-05-23T08:57:36.117+01:00We miss you on the Image-Line forums Spencer.We miss you on the Image-Line forums Spencer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2547612753018539023.post-46349760500482771822011-03-12T02:38:33.313+00:002011-03-12T02:38:33.313+00:00When someone dies, it is almost always a conclusiv...When someone dies, it is almost always a conclusive and welcomed relief of peace and comfort, preceeded by the less pleasant moments (or in Spencer's case months) before it.<br /><br />The real tragedy is that those close to the deceased are not in comfort, but mourning. In Spencer's case his friends and family suffered during his illness, and still feel pain long after his is over.<br /><br />There are those who die because of poor lifestyle choices, or they just give up. Those left behind have reason to be bitter at this category of deceased, because their fate seems somewhat selfish.<br /><br />Spencer was quite the opposite of this, there was nothing selfish about his demise. Not only did he fight as hard as he could to battle his illness, enduring whatever pain or discomfort was necessary to be sure he had covered all bases with regard to treatment, but he took time out to share his experiences, however embarassing they might have been with him, not only to those close to him but to anyone who might have stumbled across his blog!<br /><br />For this reason, when I think of Spencer, I will regard him as a hero and someone I hope I have the strength to be like when my time comes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2547612753018539023.post-10299097962080953402011-01-07T17:03:59.732+00:002011-01-07T17:03:59.732+00:00bye Spencer, we won't forget you as one of the...bye Spencer, we won't forget you as one of the best musicians. and you know what?
