Daily Democrat, Clinton MO - Raymond Harrelson Spencer, the youngest son of Delbert Franklin and Lara Suffal Spencer, was born November 14, 1940, in Osceola. He died Thursday, December 25, 1997, at Golden Valley Hospital at the age of 57 years, one month and 11 days. At an early age Raymond's family moved to Clinton where he attended school. He obtained his GED in 1984. He began working at the age of 14. He worked for Riffel's Flowers, the hatchery, the lumber yard, built houses and ran his own trash service for several years. In 1973 he went to work for the City of Clinton. He was very dedicated to his job and worked until his health no longer allowed him to in October 1997. In 1961, Raymond married Charlotte Mae Hart. To this union five daughters were born, Rebecca, Margaret, Charlotte, Tonya and Jessica. He was a loving husband and father. He was a giving man, always putting others before himself. Throughout the years he was known as a "dad" to many neighborhood kids and special nephews and nieces. He was also a dedicated grandfather who always had time for his grandchildren. Raymond was a member in the Church of Christ. He enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to hunt and fish. He enjoyed making his love of the outdoors a family occasion. Many family vacations revolved around hunting and camping. He wasn't a man that needed many material things. All he needed was the love of his family, the country, a rifle and fishing pole.
