Doyle Gillespie

Steve & Shaaron, Our thoughts and prayers have been with you during this difficult time. Your strong faith will help you through this. I know you have many fond memories of Doyle and those will always be with you.
Love,
phred & Claudia

Luann, Steve, Vicki: It's never easy when loved ones pass on, even when you know they're not hurting anymore. I honestly didn't know your dad that well, but the legacy he left in You - his children - is a testament to his wit, wisdom and character. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Luann, Steve, Vicki and family-
Our thoughts are with you all in your time of sorrow.
I can recall as a youngster, crashing a wedding uptown (cause we had nothing better to do), and spent much of the night listening to Doyle jam out on the skins.
Take Care,
Steve Mizer

Luann, Steve, Vicky and families- I am so sorry about the loss of your father. He was a great guy and will be sadly missed. My sincerest condolences-Cheryl (Downing) LoFiego

My memories of Doyle are very many! They always bring a smile to my face. He was always so gruff on the outside but I knew of the man who with his beloved Ellen could glide across the dance floor with such grace and joy! I always wanted to dance like that...and now he will dance again with grace and joy and with his Ellen!

Steve, Luann, and Vicki, Harold and I are very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He was a good man, and his presence seemed larger than life. He will be sorely missed.

The day after Holloween in about 1963, George Hershberger roared into Lyons High School Agriculture Class and demanded that whichever of us SOB's had taken Doyle Gillespie's trailer as a Halloween prank had best get the G-D thing back. I think that was the angriest I ever saw Hersh get, and he did have a temper. The next day, he came back into class and very humbly appologized, Doyle had forgotten he had told someone they could borrow it. Lyons lost a good man with Doyle's passing.

Steve and Sharon, we send our sincere sympathy to each of you as well as your entire family. We know that every loss is very special and that no one can truly understand the depth of your sorrow.

Steve & Sharon -- our deepest condolences on the passing of your father.
