To the Gillespie family, 1/10/23
I was watching Shells Wonderful World of Golf a couple of days ago and it was taking place at Pinehurst #2 in North Carolina in 1994. I am almost positive I saw Terry standing in the background during the beginning of the program. That prompted me to google him and find out he passed away in 2018.
I was his inside sale man at Ken Mac until he retired. He was always very kind to me and never had a bad word to say about anyone. We golfed a few times together and went to a couple of Ohio State football games together too.
My condolences to his family and I will never forget him.
God Bless you Terry
