I was sadden to hear the passing of Father Gillespie. I was taught freshman algebra by Father in the mid 60's at Father Judge H. S. He was an outstanding teacher and a true disciple of our Lord. Father also celebrated Mass on Sundays at our parish ( St. Matthews Phila.) Thank you Father for all of your guidance. Tom Murphy class of 69 Father Judge.
