God Bless the Gillespie family today & everyday. What a great group of people.

So saddened to hear about Casey! I love all our many Gillespie fun memories like singing around the piano on Christmas Eve. I live in Connecticut and I have been out of touch- we would love to see our Gillespie cousins at my moms Celebration of Life, Saturday, October 29, 10:00 am , St Andrews Cathedral. Sending all of you love and condolences. Much love, Tess [email protected]

Dear Gillespie Family, It was struggle to find the words at first, but memories seem to be flooding in with every passing moment.

As a 1977 FHC graduate, and dear friend of his sister Patti and brother in law Dave, please accept heartfelt condolences to your family.

Casey was a brother to Billy and a special friend to me. We will forever have a hole in our hearts without you Casey

I am sure Casey will be intensely missed. We hope there is some solace in knowing that his soul still lives, in a higher place, without pain, worries or sorrow, .

Casey was a wonderful husband, father, and friend who I had the privilege of knowing since we were in grade school. Our prayers go out to Nancy, Colin, Stephen and Meredith.

Rest In Peace my friend, your sense of humor and high voltage energy will be missed
