Spencer, Richard A's Obituary
Richard Allen Spencer “Rick” was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness and dedication touched everyone who knew him.
Rick spent more than 40 years working at Kelley’s Country Cookin’. He began his career as a cook and, through years of hard work and commitment, became a manager. He truly loved the people he worked with and considered many of them family. Richard took pride in his work and would not have wanted it any other way.
Outside of work, Rick found joy in fishing with his son on his boat, working in his garden, BBQing and hanging out by the pool making memories with his grandson Jr that will be cherished forever. He was known for his caring heart, strong work ethic, and deep love for his family.
