Mr. Glenn Clinton (Clint) Spencer, age 57, of Covington, Virginia, died Thursday, November 8, 2012, at the UVA Medical Center, Charlottesville.
Clint was born March 10, 1955 in Covington, the son of the late Robert Lewis Spencer, Sr. and Hortense Ross Spencer.
He graduated from Covington High School.
He worked several jobs in the area before joining the U.S. Army. After returning home, Clint worked several jobs until he was disabled.
He enjoyed fishing, gardening and attending to his roses. He had a quick smile and a teasing way. Clint loved telling jokes and short stories. He loved his family and was a helping hand and was a jack of all trades around the house.
Clint was a member of Pine Street Baptist Church, where he took great joy serving as a usher. He was a Washington Redskins fan in the middle of many Dallas Cowboy fans. Clint did not sing, but he sure could whistle.
He leaves three brothers, Calvin Spencer of the home, Peter Spencer of Roanoke, Daniel and Virginia Spencer of Portsmouth; a sister, Yolanda "Dilly" Spencer and fiance, Don Osborne of Covington; one niece and two nephews, one aunt, Dorothy Ross of Washington, DC; two uncles, Lorenzo Ross and Pearson Ross of Covington; a special friend, Judy Shipp of Covington; along with many cousins and close friends.
Clint is preceded in death by his mother, Mrs. Hortense R. Spencer and father, Robert L. Spencer, Sr.; five brothers, Terry Spencer, Edward Spencer, David Spencer, Wayne Spencer and Robert L. Spencer, Jr.
