As Barry has said the genesis of the Warfare range of miniatures was down to Spencer. I only really knew Spencer through email and then later the telephone, but he was always easy to work with and very genial in conversation; he was just a likeable guy. He was very knowledgeable about wargaming and enthusiastic; many of our phone chats ran to a couple of hours.
I was aware he was ill fairly early on (he let me know as obviously it had an impact on our plans) and as time went on that things weren't going that well. Even so the news at the weekend still was a shock, somehow I'd imagined that he'd pull through despite the odds. He was still a fairly young man.
I've sat considering this message for some time now, but I don't know what else to write, other than I just have a feeling of great sadness.
