In Memory of June M. Spiezer:

 

June M. Spiezer, Nov. 14, 2011, wife of the late Francis Edward Spiezer; mother of Joseph (Cathy), Aaron (Jacque) and David (Marlene) Spiezer; grandmother of eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

 

"June Spiezer is the most passionate, exemplary collector of art I ever had the pleasure of working with, though working seems like entirely the wrong word. ...

... collection that reads like a who's who of Chicago art. ...

... The Spiezers collected for themselves and for love. ...

The Spiezer's collection is about love and the passion, power and joy of art. ...

A lot of people love June. She's a very special lady."

-Paul Klein
