Alistair Gillespie “Al” (St John’s, Newfoundland), who passed away at the age of 72, on December 9, 2023. Born Sept 1, 1951. He was predeceased by : his wife Gloria; his parents, George Gillespie and Sheila Gillespie; his siblings, Johnny, Doug and Betty; and his niece Angelina Gillespie (Rusty). He is survived by: his sons, George, Albert, Andrew and Alex; his grandchildren, Nicolas, Michael, Albert Jr., Alisa Jean, Chelsea Jean, Jaden and Alexis; and his siblings, Bobby (Mel), Sheila (Curtis), Georgina (Dave) and Gail (Peter).
Allan James Gillespie, 1963 – 2022. It is with immense sadness that the family of the late Allan James Gillespie announce his passing on April 24th, 2022, at the age of 58. Leaving to mourn with fond memories of laughter and love are his wife Sandra; children Blake, Brandon (Stacey); brothers Mike (Clarice) Gillespie, Don (Patricia) Gillespie, John (Cathy) Gillespie; sisters Betty Gillespie, Paula (Neil) Anstey, Catherine (Greg) Walsh, and Ann Marie (Shawn) Gillespie; brothers-in-law Gary Budgell, and David (Wilmari) Budgell; and his chosen family: Jimmy & Connie Keough, and Gordon & Debbie Davis; many nieces, nephews and extended family members, loyal co-workers, and a very large circle of loving friends.
Allan grew up right across from the trestle on Riverside Drive in Bishop’s Falls, NL. He was a (very) proud Montreal Canadiens fan, an avid camper, and you’d be likely to mistake him for an amateur comedian given how much he loved to make people smile and laugh.
Al had a successful career as a heavy equipment salesperson, and for the past 17 years he worked with United Rentals. Anyone who knows Al, knows that he dearly loved his work and he cherished his relationships with his United Rentals family at the “Branch” and across the province. He so dearly appreciated the support of his work buddies during his battle with cancer (Danny, Freddy, Gord, Whitey, Kenny, Ryan, Paul, and the big boss Steve). Al also built countless relationships with customers, contacts, and friends across the province through his work. Many of those relationships became enduring friendships that Al valued deeply. People often remark that “everyone knows Al”, and that was partly a product of the work he loved. Up until his passing Al was also the Mayor of the Town of Massey Drive. A role he proudly held for just over 4 years. He had incredible pride in the little town that became his home of 17 years. Above all else he was proud of his family. There was nothing that made him happier than being with his loving wife, his boys and his dog, Nayla. In recent years he was tickled to add the daughter he never had, Stacey, and his grand puppy Freddy to the fold. His family meant everything to him.
Allan was predeceased by his parents, William and Mary, brother Bill, sister Brenda, and parents-in-law Havard and Marie Budgell. Cremation has taken place. There was visitation at Fillatre’s Funeral Home on 4 St. Marks Avenue, Corner Brook, NL for the public. A celebration of life took take place at Fillatre’s Funeral Home at 7pm on Thursday, April 28th. Funeral mass was held on Saturday, April 30th at 11am at Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish located in Grand Falls-Windsor, NL.

Saml J Gillespie, death April 13, 1918 France, Newfoundland, Canada, age 29. Note: There is no France, Nfdl, so I wondered if this was a war record of a soldier from Canada who died in France, or did he live just off the coast of Newfoundland on one of two islands that are not part of the province. Indeed, they are not even Canada! Saint-Pierre and Miquelon are the last piece of French territory in North America. They are quite distinct from Newfoundland and Labrador.
