Dear Gillespie Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy. I remember fondly the day I was so fortunate to meet and be hired by Mr. G. My 9 years at Allied were among the best of times. We have lost a very kind, gentle man, and great role model. Madeline(Mandy) Goff

To the entire Gillespie family - At this difficult time, please remember that your loss is shared by those who care and understand.

I was sad to hear the news of your dad's death.... A walk on Crystal Lake Road always became a better one when Mr. Gillespie was outside... It always amazed me that he remembered so many people's names! What a loss to our special community!

To Madeline and the children of Walter: We respectively submit our sincere sorrows and prayers.We are so very sorry. Dick and Nancy McIntosh

Working for Mr. G. was a joy. He was blessed with a marvelous sense of humor and unflagging loyalty to his family and friends. It was a privilege to have known him.
