He helped us win the AAA award for best patrol in the state:) I ran into some classmates a couple weeks ago and we were talking about favorite teachers. Mr Gillespie name came up more than once. He was such a kind man to so many. I´m glad I had others to talk with about him.

So sorry for your loss. We were just talking about him on Facebook last week. My favorite teacher of all and same for others. He was our Wells-Carey 6th grade teacher and safety patrol leader. I had wrote him a letter in 2011-2012 and he responded. I´m so glad I got to tell him the impact he had in my entire life.

Deb and Family, Keith was a very bright light in this world & to my family. He was so kind & caring, he would play cards with my brother and take him fishing. Not too many people took the time for my brother, this meant so much to him. He would make my Mom laugh regardless of how sick she was feeling. I am so sorry for your loss, Keith will be missed!
