I will always remember Mr. Spencer and classic one-line humor. A funny story to share:
One evening at Battle Island golf course, we had a family gathering out on the patio with several of us playing pitch. Mr. Spencer was in his prime making jokes throughout the game and had us in tears with his classic one liners. Mr. Spencer walked away to use the bathroom and while he was away, the group stacked the deck to give him all face cards all in the suit of clubs. It was a four bid all day long. Our trick was to let Mr. Spencer bid first then someone would outbid him with a bid of “shoot the moon”.
The classic one-liner I will never forget and brings tears to my eyes to this day is Mr. Spencer’s comment made when everyone at the table were dealt their cards, and we were all getting ready to bid, he looks at his cards and said, “I have more Clubs in my hand than a Golf Course”.
Of course, he bid the four and my brother outbid him, and he almost cried. A classic moment for many that day. Mr. Spencer; you always made us smile and you will be missed.
God Bless
