August 26th 1936 – February 20th 2025
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Spike at the Lady Dunn Health Centre in Wawa on Thursday, February 20th, 2025.
He leaves behind his wife Noreen of 61 years, brother of the late Geraldine Spreng, and cousin of Rodney Spreng (Margo). Loved father to Andrea (Tom Curtis) Kent and Barclay (Nancy) and special Grandpa to Blair, Morgan, Ainsley and Alicia.
Most people will remember Spike in the family hardware store serving the community tackling their many projects and problems with humour, patience and knowledge.
The family would like to thank Dr. M. Cotterill and the kind and caring staff at the Lady Dunn Health Centre.
A donation to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation in Spike’s memory would be appreciated.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Arrangements entrusted to the Kerry Funeral Home, Wawa.

My condolences to the Spreng family.
If you needed something from the hardware store he more then likely had it.
We would see him almost every day walking uptown with his wife.
He will be missed. Another long time resident of Wawa has passed.
Rest in peace.
So sa to hear about Spike. He was my boss at Spreng’s Hardware store when I first moved to Wawa in 1968. He was a great boss & very helpful whoever came through the doors. I will always remember his smile. Sending prayers & hugs
Such sad news to hear was always a pleasure chatting with him when I was working he was such a kind man.
Condolences to the family

Condolences to the Spreng family on the loss of a fine man. I must say I still miss going into the store, having a chat and finding some obscure item. R.I.P. Spike
Our sincere condolences to the Spreng family. I didn’t know Mr. Spreng very well, but often he & Noreen would walk by our home & would always chat with us. Whether it was about gardening or cats, the conversations were always welcomed and sweet. Rest easy Mr. Spreng.
