It is with heavy hearts and great sadness of the passing of Frederick J. Spence III this morning. Fred was the assistant manager of VonDell Gallery and Studios and a good friend. He loved the gallery and was dedicated to it's success. You would often see Fred working on his latest oil painting in the main section of the gallery. Fred will be greatly missed. Rest in peace my friend. |
