I just saw this. I am so sorry for your lost. I met Ralph and his wife several years ago at the Summit Senior Center. We were both veterans and talked a lot about his time in service to our country. I made a few bibs for him for his wife and him through the years. He was one of my favorite customers. He was a friendly person and never met a stranger.   I will be praying for his family through this time.

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to Mr. Spivey’s family. He was truly someone who could light up a room the moment he walked in. During my time working at Grand Prairie Animal Clinic, I always looked forward to seeing him and Bailey every Friday. He had a way of making each visit special—whether it was by greeting me with a new, funny version of my name, offering me snacks after a grocery run, or simply taking a moment to ask how I was doing. His kindness, humor, and genuine spirit will never be forgotten. Love Gia

My deepest condolences. I will definitely miss hearing you talking to yourself as you walk up to the door and leave stuff on the porch. I always got a kick out of opening the door to see what you had left. Sometimes it was new stuff and sometimes it was something you didn’t need and thought we did. I will miss our conversations even though I had to repeat myself a million times. You are deeply loved and missed. RIP my dear friend.
