Family provided the following information: Dr. Spies passed away October 10, 2018. He was born in Bonham, July 19, 1925. He left substantial amounts of money and property to organizations. He had a true heart of gold. He graduated from Ladonia High School in 1942. Dr. Spies attended East Texas State University 1943-1944. He served in the Army Medical Corps from 1944-1946 as a Median Tech 409 on the Army Hospital ship, Ernestine Kranda for 6 tours of duty. Upon his discharge from the Army, he attended East Texas State University, receiving a B.S. degree in chemistry. He then worked at the Nutrition Clinic for his uncle. He attended the University of Alabama in 1953, receiving his M.S. degree in Biochemistry and the School of Dentistry at Temple University in Philadelphia, receiving his D.D.S. in 1960. Dr. Spies joined the staff of Marlin, Texas VA Hospital in 1960 and later transferred to the VA Hospital in Dallas.

After his retirement from the VA in Dallas, Dr. Spies moved to Leonard to live in his parent’s home. People in Leonard knew “Doc” Spies as a very kind, generous man. He supported many different causes and organizations in Leonard and Fannin County while he was alive. He never wanted it known what he donated to help people. He used to make large donations to the Crisis Center and the Children’s Center. He liked seeing people helped with his money while he was still alive. Dr. Spies also left money and property to others.
