I am sorry to receive the news about Uncle Clifford. It has been a long time ago that we cross paths. Uncle Clifford has left me a lot of good memories that I will never forget. What a great guy to loose and as my brother Lee said it is a shame that we had not gotten together one last time. May you rest in peace.
My uncle Clifford was the last of his generation of the Gillespie Clan. I wish we could have got to know each other better. Rest in peace Unc,
We’re very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Great Uncle, I don't think we ever met. but you are my kin and you will be missed. When you see my dad, tell him I miss him and you. Fair winds and following seas carry you to God's love.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Gillespie's family. He was a true gentleman.
R.I.P. sweet angel.Sure gonna miss our talks on the phone and visiting you.Love you ,always.
