Paul Trowbridge Gillespie Jr.

My heartfelt condolences to Trow's family and friends. He was such a valued member of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl Board for many years and he will be missed by so many.

Trow was the chairman of Osiris the year I served as queen. He was a gentleman always and naturally handsome. I remember his laugh and his voice most. Elizabeth was always so nice to me too. What will Memphis be without Trow. I am sorry I will not get to see him again as it was always a pleasure to do so. Much love to his wonderful family!

Trow was a wonderful friend and fraternity brother. The world has lost a good man.

I´m remembering, with a smile, the ski excursions over the years together with Elizabeth and Trow in Beaver Creek, CO. Although I could never keep up with him on the slopes, his infectious personality kept us entertained at every single gathering.

I had the privilege of being the other quarterback in the East Memphis rivalry between M.U.S. and White Station and while we were competitors for three years I always appreciated our association. Even though post football our only encounters came in the driveway of my across the street neighbor, Trow's son Paul and yes, we relived a few moments on the few occasions we renewed our rivalry in the driveway. Having said that I have always considered him a friend and admired him both as a fellow...

Sending my condolences to family

I was a classmate at Vanderbilt. T row was the coolest, most with it person on our campus from the first week until graduation. We were not friends but we always spoke to each other.I followed his life in Memphis . He was a noble father/husband,a man of substance -spiritual & worldly, and was given many gifts, faced challenges, was a servant of God and man. I send his family my deepest sympathy.

My sincerest condolences to Trow´s family. I had the privilege of playing for Coach Gillespie as a freshman at Vanderbilt. He was a Graduate Assistant coaching the freshman team. He was a positive influence on all of us. I have fond memories of him and not surprised by his family success, professional success and most importantly community and church involvement. Rest in Peace Trow with your Lord.

Trow was a great friend and pledge brother at Vanderbilt. Loved the great tributes of his life achievements. May the Grace and Peace of the Lord attend every gathering this week in remembrance of him. Tom Smith
