I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Spitz. He always made me and my family welcome in his home. I enjoyed talking with him, his lovely wife, and wonderful daughter. I felt like I had a second set of parents and sister.

I’ve known Owen Spitz since I was in 4th grade (1970), and always thought he was the coolest Dad of my acquaintance. As an adult, I also learned that he and I both were ravenous readers, and had similar literary tastes. My condolences to the entire family, but especially to my good friend, Ann.
Connie, We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything feel free to get a hold of us.
Dear Connie,
I was so sorry to hear of Owen’s death. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Ann
