I was sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I remember decades ago when we were all so much younger the fun times at the shore, Mantoloking and Asbury Park. I have fond memories of him in his convertible , always having jokes to tell. Rest In Peace .

Paul Gillespie was a witty, very intelligent character. We had so much fun and so many adventures.
He did the NY Times crossword in ink and we shared a love of obscure trivia.
A bientot, Pablo.
 We'll always have Paris.

If Paul and I had lunch at the same time we would talk about what we had brought from home.  He would delight me with the latest tales of what John had made and with which spices.  We both enjoyed our food on the spicy side, and we each carried  a bottle of hot sauce in our lunch box.  

He shared a video with me  of his last flight in the Air Force from an air show.  He was thrilled that someone had sent the video to him because he didn’t know it existed.  

I will miss Paul immensely.  My most sincere condolences go to his sons, daughter in law, granddaughter and his brothers and roommate, John.

I was so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was a talented individual who served his country bravely in combat, and could always make people laugh with a good story. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear about Paul. Fond memories of running around the shore (Sea Bright etc).  He will be missed. John

My sincere condolences. Paul will be sorely missed by his friends and family. 

We are very sad to hear of Paul's passing. We have many fond memories of Paul. Especially when Paul rented a house in Mantoloking Shores that came with a hot tub. We spent fun times with him, his mom, Essie and John A. Condolences to the Gillespie family.
Prayers,
Pat and Dick Ambrose

My condolences to the family. Paul was a great person to work with. He was always laughing. We be talking our Spanish together and he be talking about his days in the Air Force. When his grandchild was born, he was so proud, showing the pictures. I am going to miss him a lot. Until we meet again, my friend. 😢 

Coming from the son of a legend. Pop, words can’t explain how much I miss you. You were my best friend. Not only that, you made your son. And I now forever hold your last name “GILLESPIE.” I love you so much. You changed my life forever. And I could never thank you enough. I’m more that proud I’m son. And I promise I’ll make you proud. Untill we meet again. MAVERICK&GOOSE4L🛫❤️🥺
