Ronald Neil Gillespie

We were informed about Mr. Gillespie's death this evening by a friend who attended to people at the time of the accident. The accident happened in front of our house, and few days have passed that we did not think of the victims. These last few months must have been very difficult for your family. We will continue to lift you up in our prayers, that God will comfort you.

Please accept our condolences.

Ron was one of my favorite teachers in high school at Northwest in the mid 60's. After many years, I stopped by for a visit when he was in the front office. I had to convince the secretary that I wasn't a textbook salesman, but Ron looked up from his desk and said "Hi Bob" like he'd last seen me the day before instead of decades ago. I'll continue to remember him fondly. My sympathies to the family he leaves behind.

Ron was steady, calm and positive influence on us all in the North Jackson Lions Club. He could be counted on always and excelled as a role model and friend to all of us in the club.

I will miss his annual phone call asking me if my fruit order is ready.

God bless you and be with you during this time. You are in my prayers.

Marilyn and family,
I too was saddened to hear of Ron's all too early death. He was a neat guy and a lot of fun. I will keep you, Ron & your family in my thoughts.

Dear Marilyn and family: I was greatly saddened to hear of Ron's passing. I knew Ron and his family from our old neighborhood in Jackson before my family had to move to Florida after the passing of my father. My heart goes out to you and your family in your loss. We can accept that Ron is alive and well helping God with the students that need someone patient and understanding, until you meet again. I will keep all of you in my prayers for strength and comfort during this time and every after....

I was very saddened to learn of Ron's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Peter Demos

Marilyn, I know there are no words that can take away the pain you and your family are dealing with at this time of loss. Only time will heal, and I'm sure there are so many wonderful memories the years have brought that will sustain you. Prayers are with you. Drexie Teel (Greene)

Marilyn,

I was very saddened to hear of Ron's death. I had spoken to Ron 3 years ago when I was in Jackson helping my younger brother with his delivery business. It was a real pleasure talking to him and I'm glad I had those few moments to speak to him as I did with you at your job.

My prayers will be with you.

Dear Marilyn and Family, many years have passed since we walked the halls of JHS together. I am so sorry to learn of the Ron's passing. Prayerfully the Grace of God will rest lightly on his shoulders forever.
