To the entire Gillespy family, please have my most sincere condolences on John's passing. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. May God bless you all with His perfect peace

Sharp was one of my fondest neighbors for many years. He and Louise were the most wonderful couple I knew. I always said that they had the perfect relationship. So sad to hear about his passing.

We met Sharp & Louise just a couple of years ago at our condo building. We love hearing the wonderful stories of their life together. We are sending thoughtful wishes to all of his family during this time of loss. What a wonderful life he lived!

To Louise and the Gillespy family, When Sharp V called to let me know that his father had passed away the night before, it was with great personal sadness for me to hear this news. You and Sharp have been such wonderful friends for Caroline and me for some 50 plus years and the many years with St. Andrews Society. Some of the stories Sharp has shared over the years have been most enjoyable, especially the one about his job as a young attorney and the pay he received working for my father...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Gillespie family and friends Sorry for your loss. May the memories shared help you cope through this difficult time.
