The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

My sympathy goes out to Dr. Spaulding's family. You have lost someone who loved and cared deeply about you and tried to give you all you needed to succeed in the world: a family upbringing, an education, and a love of God and country. I have lost a great teacher and friend of 38 years. I was fortunate to know such a unique man. He was one of the three best friends I have had in my professional life. I had the privilege of having lunches with him for over 30 years as a fellow faculty member and later as a special friend. He sponsored me to membership at Coldstream Country Club and was a frequent golfing friend. He was my roommate on our golfing trip to Ireland and we shared a wonderful week together laughing, cursing, getting drenched in the rain, and having a great time. I was also lucky enough drive him back from Florida after a cruise and talk at length about life, his life, and his feelings for his college sweetheart, "Tootsie". With a little convincing I urged him to tell her how he truly felt, resulting in the past four years of his relationship with her. I have never seen him so happy and alive. I also had the chance to see them together in Phoenix when I was there and was gratified to see their mutual contentment. I was glad to see that his passing was on his terms where he left us peacefully in his recliner and not having to suffer the indignities of a slow, painful death in a hospital bed. I will miss him terribly and will always remember his stories, photographic memory, and zest for life which he lived to the fullest. As a product of a Jesuit education he emulated the exhortation to be "a man for others" and served his patients, family, friends, community, University of Cincinnati, and country with uncommon honesty and uncompromising ethics. So goodbye for now my dear friend until our paths cross again.
