JAMES L. SPENCER

James L. Spencer passed away at his home on November 2, 2020. Jim was born in

Toledo on December 12, 1953 to Keith H. and Jacqueline (Keller) Spencer. He

graduated from Whitmer High School and attended the University of Toledo. From a

young age, Jim was rarely seen without a faithful dog (or two) at his side. Although

Whippets were his favorite breed, Jim had a soft heart for all canines, especially Little

Man.

Jepoardy! has lost one of its best at-home players. Never missing an episode, Jim was

a wizard answering the questions. He was also a master at crossword puzzles. An avid

reader, Jim loved to debate politics and historical events. He applied his extensive

knowledge of history when playing military strategy games, and he prided himself on

knowing much about Toledo's past.

Jim was a fan of warm weather when he could be frequently seen riding his bike. He

was also a long-time lover of music, particularly live venues. And a good cup of coffee,

the stronger the better, would always bring a smile.

Jim was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Ann. He is survived by his sister,

Pat (Ken). Long-time friends George, Rachel, Ben, Randy, and Kit shared good times

and kindness with Jim. He will be missed.
