Five for Clive.
Welcome Home cobber.
Cheers for all the belter one liners you'd always come out with as Dad and I would be welcomed onto your yard whenever we came to visit.
You'd always have a story, a joke, a punting tip for dad or something to say, and I will always remember those visits and the laughs that came with them.
Rest easy Clive.
Five for Clive!
Thinking of everyone in the family kia kaha xxxx

Thinking of you all at this time. Be kind and gentle with each other as you navigate through this. Sorry can’t be with you on Friday, only have a restricted licence.
No more, pain, confusion or struggle now Clive. Rest well, you’ve earned it.
Love and hugs to your girls and Jenni.

I worked with Clive at Wanganui Motors late 60’s early 70’s. A top guy, top salesman, always happy and chirpy and fun to be around. Deepest sympathy and condolences to the Spencer family who I knew well, RIP Clive. Wayne Cunningham

Sorry to hear he will now be selling cars in heaven. Met Clive when my dad worked at Whanganui Motors and bought a number of cars from him. He taught me how to drive an automatic! Always smiling with a quick quip. Rest in peace Clive.

I was saddened last night to learn of Clive's passing and missing his funeral. Growing up just around the corner from Laird St I have know Clive from his days working for Barry Hudson. More recently when he started Clive Spencer Motors he became a valued customer of my business providing electrical and electronic repairs. He was a great friend and advisor. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace Clive and thanks for the memories. Andrew Johnson
