To the entire Gaspard family, I am heartbroken to hear that George "Speedy" Gaspard has passed. We only served together for a short time 1968-1969 but during those interesting times, I would not have wished to spend it with any other soldier. I will never forget his leadership, his stories and humor. He was a true professional and I am deeply honored to have known him. RIP Speedy

To the entire Gaspard family, I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of LTC Gaspard. He was a trail blazer in the SF world and an American hero. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him a couple years ago. My deepest condolences and sympathies are with you all. God will bless him as he greet him at the last rally point.

"Speedy" was my friend and Hero. He was the essence of both a Southern Gentleman and Professional Soldier. I hope all who loved and knew him will appreciate the moments they were able to spend by his side. Suzie, I celebrate His life with you and mourn His loss as well. God Bless.

An inspiring soldier, to say the least. I remember him well from the 1st SFG in Okinawa around 1966. RIP

"Speedy" was one of a kind. Served in 1st SFG when he reported in 1971. A gentleman with a great sense of humor. All who knew him will miss him. God bless the family.
