Anne Clair Gillespie, age 86, of Green Valley Arizona, previously of Stratford, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by the ones she loved on Monday, October 24th, 2022. Anne was the beloved wife of John (Ian) Gillespie. She was born on August 12, 1936, in Longriggend, Lanarkshire, Scotland, daughter of the late James and Margaret (Lambie) Rafferty and had been a longtime resident of Stratford, before moving to Arizona in 2003.

Anne enjoyed spending time with her husband after her retirement. They traveled frequently to Scotland. She loved visiting her family there including her husband’s brothers and sister, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and her many friends. She and her husband, their first-born child, parents, brothers, in-laws, and only sister settled in Stratford some sixty years ago calling Stratford home.  Anne enjoyed assisting in the upbringing of her Stratford born grandchildren Alyssa and James which brought her great joy; this brought them especially close. She loved gardening and flowers and always took great pride in her yard. She also had a great love for music and singing, what a beautiful voice she had. She was always dressed beautifully and lit up every room she walked in to. She was always happiest surrounded by those she loved. Anne loved a party, especially the sweet treats, dining out, doting on babies/children, keeping in close contact with loved ones, far and near, and time spent beside the love of her life, best friend, soulmate and devoted husband of 62 years.

Survivors include her sister Mary Gorman; her sister-in-law Doreen Rafferty, her children Ray Gillespie and his wife Dale, Iain James Gillespie and his wife Shawna; grandchildren, Danielle, Nicole, Alyssa, Jessica & James; great grandchildren McKenzy, Jackson, Brody, Josh, Luca and Alba; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by three brothers, Robert, Henry and James Rafferty and a granddaughter Natalie Gillespie.

Friends were invited to attend a Funeral Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, November 11, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. by meeting directly at Saint Mark Church, 500 Wigwam Lane, Stratford, CT.  Interment will be private.

Thomas H Gillespie Jr, a 55-year resident of New Canaan, CT, died on April 25, 2023.  He was born in Chicago, IL on August 21, 1933, a son of Thomas Howard and Florence Stoker Gillespie, and raised in Kenilworth, IL.  As a youth attending Joseph Sears School and New Trier Township High School, Tom was active in sports and achieved his Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts at the early age of 13. Tom graduated from Cornell University, Class of 1955. He was an active member of the Sigma Phi fraternity in college and for more than 60 years thereafter. Drafted into the Army following college, Tom served primarily in the Signal Corps in the Philippines.

Following his service, Tom attended the Northwestern Graduate School of Business (now Kellogg), receiving his MBA in 1960. That same year he moved to San Francisco to begin a career in investment management. He met his beloved wife of 43 years, Josephine, his first week in San Francisco. Jo and Tom were married soon after and moved east in 1965. After achieving CFA certification in 1966, Tom co-founded the predecessor to Gillespie, Robinson & Grimm, an investment firm that he led for 49 years before his retirement in 2020 at age 87.

Tom moved to New Canaan in 1968 and lived in the same house for the remainder of his life. Tom was a generous supporter of national and local causes and served on the boards of the United Way, Woodway Country Club (of which he was a member for 50 years), The New Canaan Inn, and the Congregational Church of New Canaan. Tom always believed he led a blessed life. He could find someone he knew from his past almost anywhere in the world. He was always active, including skiing on the National Ski Patrol, shooting river rapids in a and playing golf all over the world. An avid traveler, Tom covered most of the globe and won the family’s 50-State Challenge. While later in life he could be found enjoying a good book of historical fiction and sipping his favorite “Scottish wine” (aka Scotch), he continued to travel the world into his late 80’s. Tom was a kind and generous man, with a keen sense of right and wrong. He had time and a story for people from all walks of life, but his family was his focus, with his 8 grandchildren the collective apple of his eye.
