SPENCE, Fred E
91, inventor and dental technician, passed away on the morning of February 27, 1999 at his home in Culver City, after a long battle with cancer. He was horn in Santa Barbara, California on February 17, 1908 to a hard working gardener, Frederick C Spence and his wife Lucy. Their generosity of good meals for many in Santa Barbara, especially during the Depression made their humble abode a popular place. His gifts and interest in science and things mechanical were demonstrated early as a young child. He built a crystal radio and climbed one of the tall trees near his family's house to hang the simple wire antenna needed to make it work. He figured out how to make the coil from a Model T Ford generate sparks outside of the car which scared many of his mother's chickens. Around the age of 12 he went off to Sacramento for his drivers license and managed to dismantle and reassemble a Model T Ford. Given a 22 rifle as a young boy and his fear of snakes, he probably single handedly caused a severe decline in the local rattlesnake population.
Frustrated by the limited opportunities in Santa Barbara and concerned about the demands on his parents raising 6 younger siblings he set out for Los Angeles to make something of himself. Staying with relatives he eventually found work with a dentist, Dr Beverly B McCollum, one of the pioneers in Gnathology, the study of the mechanics of the mouth. His abilities, especially his gifts with his hands, became readily apparent and he was encouraged to learn the skills of a dental technician. When he became more financially secure, and still having an interest in automobile, he bought a racecar and supported the early career of the quietly legendary driver, Rajo Jack.
While working for Dr McCollum he greatly assisted the development of two important dental instruments, one measured the motions of the jaw and teeth and the other reproduced these motions. Blessed with incredibly good teeth himself, he was often the guinea pig for testing them. He learned much and was inspired to figure out how to simplify these instruments. After meeting his wife, Lisa, and with her support and encouragement he pursued this interest. With the assistance of engineer/machinist Ed Bowen he designed the Spence Articulator and Facebow transfer devices for which he received a U S patent. He practiced and perfected his techniques while working for several West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills dentists, notably Dr Charles Pincus and Dr Everitte V Payne. He eventually established his own dental laboratory, the Spence Dental Lab, specializing in full mouth reconstructive dentistry.
He is survived by and greatly missed by his son, Charles F Spence, brother Douglas and sisters, Teresa and Carmateta. He will be fondly remembered for his warmth, strength and supporting his family as best he knew how. God bless him and watch over his soul.
