I'm so sorry for your lost and to the worlds lost of a great man. Bub loved his country, family, and Marine Corps. We served together in Force Recon and he was as brave as they come. Rest in peace my Brother.

We give thanks for Charles Gillespie's life.

After They Are Gone

When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.

Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

Dear Bub,
You brought so much joy to my life. The squirrels were looking for you today, wanting their peanuts. I'm really going to miss you and our times together.
Your loving son-in-law,

Bub, Its hard to believe you are gone. I never thought we wouldnt have another fishing trip, another laugh or share another cold one. You have made such a difference in my life and in my families lives. I owe you the world. We shared a million laughs together over the years. I feel like you are still here because when I recall the memories, I bust out laughing as if you were right here. Make sure you find all the good fishing spots in heaven and keep an extra pole for me until we meet again. I Love You.

Bub,

I always knew the day would come when you would not be here with us. It just feels like it is too soon. Thank you for loving me and my family. The memories of the good times are countless -- the trips, the holidays, the weddings, and births. Each one was a little brighter because we got to share them with you. I'm thankful that I've had the chance to love you and have the memories. I know you are smiling down on us and will always be there for us... Till we meet again..

Love,
Theresa

Dear Bub,
I regret we didn't stay in touch recently but I'll always remember you living with us when you were in high school and lifting weights every day. You grew so fast and became so muscular my Mom couldn't believe it. The years we worked together and your return from 'Nam are with me forever. We will miss you. Semper Fi.

Dear Bub, Growing up you were such an important influence in my life. Patti Ann and I were inseperable and you always treated me as one of your own. I will never forget when you took us to our first concert, Cindy Lauper. And every time I am down the shore the first thoughts I have are of you taking us to your house in Ocean City and Sea Isle. I was truely blessed to have known you and your family. Thank you My prayers are with Patti Ann and Rick.

Dear uncle bub,
from me to you, I want you to know what a great joy and influence you have been in my life. Since your passing, I have found myself thinking of the 70's and 80's. Vivid memories like sitting on your lap and driving the monte carlo. Junking cars on market st., spending time with you on hudson st., and down the shore. Ill never forget falling off the 2nd floor of your shore house. My first beer, and among all else, just spending quality time wirh you as a child. By the way, thanks for not influencing my mother and father to name me pete or frank. Please remember that you will not be forgotten as I will surely say your name everyday as I enjoy the gift of saying my sons name charles leo Gillespie the 5th.
Love always,
your nephew joe
