JOHN SPRUCE
Over the years I have always kept in touch with John and Heather Spruce as on my return from Vietnam, Shirley and I shared a lot of time both socially and workwise with the Spruces, John was the MC at our wedding and photographer also.
The reason for posting this blog is to inform the 87 family of recent events regarding the Spruce family.
John’s general health has declined a lot and he suffers from dementia. He currently requires 24 hr. supervision and his son’s are waiting for a vacancy in a secure nursing home.
The other sad part to this story is, John’s wife, Heather passed away Saturday 8th Jan 2022 after many years of poor health and mental stress, When Troy called me today To inform of his mother passing, I asked how his father was handling the loss of his mother, to be told; “the same way a robot would take it”. This statement left me speechless, but it tells a lot about John’s condition

That is so sad to hear. Dementia is a dreadful disease not only for the patient but the family who see their loved one change to not recognising them or what is happening around them. Graham always enjoyed catching up with John at the reunions and l remember John’s smile and cheekiness. Time is certainly marching on for us all.
