John passed away on the late evening of July 28th 2017 at home, after a fierce battle with cancer. He was born in Saint David hospital in Cardiff South Wales U.K. on the morning of August 23rd, 1949, just as the church bells across the street chimed seven-o-clock. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife Terri of Woodbridge, Virginia; his parents Edwin & Eileen Spenceley of Charlottesville; his uncle Allan Gasson and his wife Pamela of Ystrad Mynach South Wales U.K.; several cousins in South Wales and his childhood friends whom he always referred to as his cousins Carol & Paul Hanbury of Cymbach, South Wales. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Michael Hancock of Woodbridge, Virginia and his sister-in-law Debbie Ankrom and her partner Albert Hummel of Alexandria, Virginia. He is also survived by the Suddarth family, Larry and Nora and their 3 children. John also leaves behind his “adopted” family – Sam and Maggie Short and Brooke and Justin of Charlottesville. He was predeceased by both sets of grandparents.

At the age of seven years he emigrated to Charlottesville where he was a graduate of Rock Hill Academy and the School of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the University of Virginia. John was recruited to work at Potomac Hospital in Woodbridge, Virginia before he graduated. He stayed at Potomac for 11 years where he was part of the original staff of the new hospital. He decided to transfer to Mount Vernon Hospital in Alexandria and work there for 28 years. After several years Mount Vernon decided to try a new program by having a full time radiology staff on duty at night rather than having them on call. John volunteered to help staff it and loved the night time work.
