I just found this beautiful tribute to Spike yesterday. And I’ve watched it 4 times already. I only saw him once in the last 40 years and that was after his mother’s funeral. But before that we were pretty close especially in high school. I had alot of great times with him,and think about him often. Dee Dee you guys look so happy together in those photo’s. God Bless you and your family and Spike rest in peace my friend.
