I haven't seen or spoken to Dr. Spears since I was a vet tech student at St. Petersburg College...46 years ago! He was always so kind and patient with the students and seemed to enjoy teaching us the right way to do things when we interned at his hospital. He set the standard by which I judged future bosses. One funny (now!) story...he was performing an IM pin procedure on a large dog when the chuck and pin slipped off the bone and he literally impaled himself through the palm of his hand. One of my fellow students fainted and Doc just yanked the pin out, had his assistant apply a quick bandage, re-gloved and off he went to finish the task. Dog healed beautifully, as did Doc. Thank you, sir, for all of the good you did, and all of the people you positively impacted through the years. Prayers and hugs to his family.

After Gayle's passing, we took a loaf of banana bread to Dr Jerry. He went crazy over it, saying it was the closest to Gayle's as he'd ever had. Next time we stopped by, he gave us a bag of pecans and said they'd be really good in the next loaf. This was his subtle way of saying he wanted Banana - Nut Bread. In typical Dr Jerry fashion, he did not hesitate to call and leave a message ... "I've got some bananas over here." So I became the designated banana bread baker, often baking after my shift at the hospital. I think he liked this best as Jim would deliver it warm from the oven just about lunch time. I wonder how many days his lunch started with a warm piece of banana bread. Godspeed Dr Jerry, we will miss you. You will be with us for years to come in all the stories and memories.

Dr. Spears was an incredible individual who worked hard all his life to make a difference for all who knew him. I was fortunate to have met him through faculty at UF College of Veterinary Medicine and witness his scholarship being awarded in the name of his parents, Clyde and Laura Spears. He will be missed but never forgotten. - Patricia Wlasuk, UF College of Veterinary Medicine
