Betty EACOTT (nee Gillespie), It is with a deep sense of loss that we announce the unexpected passing of Betty Eacott (Gillespie) in her 74th year, posted August 22, 2022.  Pre-deceased by her beloved late husband John (1998)..Betty had many family members and friends that loved her dearly. Betty touched so many people with her kind spirit. In her later years Betty found peace and comfort living with her son Darrell and his wife Tammy.

Betty was a lover of nature and spent many hours outdoors watching and learning about all the new types of birds that would visit her feeders. She kept a sharp mind by finding a sense of calm and accomplishment in several paintings that she completed. She was proud to show these creations to family and friends. She was also kept company by the family’s pet cats Peep and Purdy, who will deeply miss her loving and nurturing ways.

Betty has requested a cremation followed by a small gathering with family and friends that will took  place on September 11th from 12-3 pm at our home in Hillsdale. We would also like to thank the family and friends that helped during these difficult times, the Springwater Fire Department, Simcoe County Paramedic Services, and the officer who assisted by going above and beyond the call of duty.

James Barnes Gillespie January 14, 1931 – March 17, 2015. Peacefully on St. Patricks Day with his wife Lorna holding his hand, her beloved and cherished husband, Partner in Life and best friend. Jim had faced recent major health issues with courage and fortitude, never losing his sense of humour, optimism or patience. Jim was born in Ville La Salle, Montreal to Thomas Gillespie and Hilda Gillespie (nee Barnes) who immigrated to Canada from Belfast, N. Ireland in 1928. He has enjoyed a successful business career in marketing and sales and thrived on the challenges it presented, initially in Quebec and later in Ontario. A mutual friend brought Jim and Lorna together and they married in 1976 at St. Bruno, Quebec prior to his transfer to Ontario where they have resided in Oakville happily since. Jim will be remembered as a kind, gentle and thoughtful man with a warm smile, welcoming many friends to their home over the years with good conversation and generous tables. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of anecdotes which leave us with fond memories. Although he and Lorna enjoyed extensive travel for business and pleasure he was a home-body at heart and loved the quiet times with Lorna enjoying a good book, crosswords, Sudoku and fine wines while listening to his favourite jazz. For his own entertainment he played guitar and mastered the clarinet as a young man. Their gardens also brought him pride and pleasure. Belonging to Kahnawake Golf Club in Montreal brought a lifelong interest in the game. Jim will be missed by many friends who have retired and moved away to Mexico, B.C, and the U.S and also by Lorna’s extended family in the UK who so warmly welcomed him. We are blessed to have so many happy memories of a Life Well Lived. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Jim took  place at 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at St. Jude’s Anglican Church, 160 William Street, Oakville.

Mrs Robert J Gillespie d Aug 5, 1965. Published in Georgetown Herald Newspaper.

Robert T. E. Gillespie, June 9, 1931 – June 8, 2024 Bob was born on June 9, 1931 in Edinburgh Scotland to Robert and Margaret Gillespie. He passed away peacefully at home in Mississauga, one day shy of his 93rd birthday, surrounded by loved ones. The foundations of his life were love of family, hard work, and giving back. Bob left Edinburgh when he was 21 and came to Canada in search of opportunity. He was quickly hired by Canadian General Electric (now GE Canada) as a Quality Control Engineer which was the beginning of his impressive career at GE. A year later he met Irene Olson and they have enjoyed a strong and loving partnership for 67 years. Bob became a Canadian citizen in 1960 and was extremely proud to call Canada his adopted home. Bob had a remarkable 52 year career at GE. He had both technical expertise and exceptional business acumen, and rose steadily through the ranks. He was appointed the role of Chairman and CEO in 1993 and served in that capacity for eleven years until he retired from GE at the age of 72. Bob was the ultimate team player who experienced and oversaw great change within the company. Trustworthy, authentic, kind, and wise were the words used to describe him by his peers. His motto was simple; treat others as you’d like to be treated yourself. His professional competence and wise counsel meant he was in high demand as a board member, both in a corporate and public sector capacity. He served as the Governor and Chair of Credit Valley Hospital, Director of Husky IMS, President and Chairman of the Board of the Toronto Symphony and Honorary Governor of the Royal Ontario Museum, to name a few of his significant roles. For many years after his retirement from GE Bob had a close association with the Imperial Capital Investment Group, where he served as a highly valued mentor and board member. Over the years he received many awards for his service, including Canada’s International Executive of the Year, the Gold Medal Award from the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers, and a Doctor of Letters from Heriot-Watt University.

He was an also a dedicated philanthropist and cared deeply for his community of Mississauga where he acted as a community advocate: the cause most dear to his heart is the Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre at University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus. In spite of the pace Bob kept, he was first and foremost a devoted husband, father and ‘Poppy’. Family always came first. He was also a mentor, friend and father figure to many. A generous and fun-loving host, Bob had a terrific sense of humour, and kept everyone entertained with stories and speeches in his characteristic Scottish ‘burr’. Bob and Irene created many traditions together. The family cottage on Lake Muskoka is a beloved gathering place for family and friends and was known as Bob’s ‘happy place’. The cottage was a place to make lasting memories with 5pm drinks on the dock and lively dinners with lots of wine and conversation in the Muskoka Room. It was also the chosen location for the annual ORC ‘Tennis Group’ weekends, which were legendary. The love of skiing is a family passion passed down through the generations. Bob loved to gather in Thornbury and Collingwood to ski at Craigleith, and cherished the many family trips over the years to Beaver Creek in Colorado. Bob was also an avid golfer and was known for his ability to negotiate a generous number of strokes from Rob and Jay before teeing off at Kirrie Glen. Poppy never missed the opportunity to stop at the country store on the way home from golf so he could return with a pocket full of candy for the eagerly awaiting grandkids. Many fond memories were made in Florida, where Bob and Irene spent an increasing amount of time over the years. The Colony provided a welcome escape from the colder months in Canada and fun times were had making new friends and hosting family for a little relaxation.

Bob was diagnosed with Parkinsons late in life. As the disease progressed he never lost that famous sense of humour. Irene cared lovingly for Bob, and the family would like to thank Dr. Clive, Dr. Pencharz, Dr. Rizek, Kerri, and Janet and Bob for their help and support. He is survived by his wife, Irene; his children, Margaret, Susan (Jay) and Robert (Charlotte) and six grandchildren, Sam, Sophie (Mark), Teigan, Matt, Avery and Paige; sister, Margaret; brother, Eddie; godson, Cameron and many beloved family members.  Celebration of Life for Bob was at Weston Golf and Country Club in the Fairway Room Tuesday, June 25, 2024 from 1-4 p.m. 50 St. Phillips Rd., Etobicoke, ON M9P

(posted Aug 3, 2022 )Pre-deceased by her beloved late husband John (1998). Betty had many family members and friends that loved her dearly. Betty touched so many people with her kind spirit. In her later years Betty found peace and comfort living with her son Darrell and his wife Tammy.

Betty was a lover of nature and spent many hours outdoors watching and learning about all the new types of birds that would visit her feeders. She kept a sharp mind by finding a sense of calm and accomplishment in several paintings that she completed. She was proud to show these creations to family and friends. She was also kept company by the family’s pet cats Peep and Purdy, who will deeply miss her loving and nurturing ways.

Betty has requested a cremation followed by a small gathering with family and friends that will take place on September 11th from 12-3 pm at our home in Hillsdale.

Alexander Gillespie 1842-1916 (born SCOTLAND),

The death of of Mr Alexander Gillespie, which occurred on Wednesday, July 5th, 1916 came as a great shock to his many friends in Nottawa and surrounding country. Though it was known that he was ill for a short time before, it was not thought by his family that the end was so near; yet in spite of medical aide or loving hands, he passed away. The deceased was born in Islay, Scotland. In 1841 he came to Canada with his parents the late Donald and Mary Gillespie, when he was seven years old.  With them he settled on Lot 30, on the 11th Concession of Nottawasaga, part of which he owned at the time of his death. Some years later, he purchased land on the Manitoulin Island where he resided for four years; after which he returned to Nottawasaga and purchased the home near Nottawa, where he remained until his death. Mr Gillespie married Miss Euphemia McNei, daughter of the late Malcolm McNeil of Fullarton Twp. The couple had one son, Harman and one daughter Miss Mary, who survive him.  In politics the deceased was a Liberal and in religion a Baptist. The funeral which took lace on Friday from the family residence, to the Presbyterian Cemetery in Collingwood was well attended.”

Bonnie Gwendolyn Gillespie  age 78, formally of Coldwater Ontario passed away at her home Wednesday January 20, 2021. Bonnie is survived by her loving husband, Ardell, and daughter Melanie, and her family (Owen) and, granddaughters Shanelle, Kirsten, (Mikayla) and (Bailey). Bonnie was born to Kenneth Crook and Doris Augusta Parnham at Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital 1942. Bonnie’s sibling, “older and only” sister Catherine MacDonald is predeceased. Ardell and Bonnie started their farm Bondell Highland Acres in 1963. Cattle were always a constant on the farm. For a short period of time, they farmed pigs and sheep. Approximately ten years later Bonnie came home with her first Nubian goat, transported in the back seat of a yellow Volkswagen Beetle. This was the beginning of a new adventure. With hard work and many learning curves their goat herd grew to eighty does. Bonnie and Ardell shared their passion and knowledge for goat farming with many new comers to the industry. Bonnie was the President of the Ontario Dairy Goat Association, and she was a judge at the local goat shows.

Bonnie loved tending to her perennial flower and vegetable gardens. Canning, preserving and preparing home cooked meals. Many family and friends will remember the smell of freshly baked bread upon entering the kitchen. It was a treat to be offered a buttered slice with a cup of tea or coffee, and, if lucky, be sent home with a loaf. Bonnie was very close to her daughter Melanie, and loved being “Nana”. She was a very large part of Shanelle and Kirsten’s developing years, and will be missed dearly. The cremation has already taken place and internment with close family and friends.  Arrangements entrusted to the Doolittle Chapel of Carson Funeral Homes, 54 Coldwater St. E., Orillia,

David William Gillespie, 1955 – 2009  in his 55th year, long term resident of Mississauga, passed away on the streets of Toronto, October 2, 2009.

Funeral service took place at St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church, 161 Hanmer Street West, Barrie, ON at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 10, 2009. Interment  Barrie Union Cemetery.

Dave or some would call him Gill was the middle child amongst the seven children of Margaret Mailer and Gordon Gillespie. He had four brothers, George of Mississauga, Bob (Mary) of Phoenix, John (Debbie) of Collingwood, and Douglas (Rachel of Barrie) as well as two sisters, Barbara Guitard of Barrie and Mary (Julius) Kairys of Toronto.

Thirteen nieces and nephews, Patricia of Kingston, Benjamin of Port Hope, Rachel of Phoenix, Kory and Vanessa of Collingwood, Diana, Sherry, Tina, Anne and Jim of Mississauga, Paul of Toronto, Jamie and Adam of Barrie will miss his stories.

Dave was ill most of his life with the last year his worst. In his last year his illness created many rifts amongst his friends and family as they did what they could to assist him.

David was very fortunate to have the love and support of Ben Duong and his wife and their children for many years. There are no words to express just how much of a difference your sacrifices made in David’s life. He always thought of you as family.

The family has been humbled by the compassion provided to Dave by many people these past few months; especially, M.L. and the elderly gentleman on Bay Street who daily assisted Dave with food and money.  We will remember Dave as an intelligent and imaginative person. The voices he used and the stories he told brings smiles to our faces. The Dave we knew will be greatly missed.

John “Jack ” Nelson Gillespie, of Wingham, Ontario, passed away on Tuesday, February 6th, 2024 at the age of 80, peacefully and surrounded by family and friends at the Wingham and District Hospital. Beloved husband of Nancy (Longley) Gillespie. Devoted father of Brett & Pam Gillespie of Stratford and Scott & Shannon Gillespie of Wingham. Loving grandfather of Kamden, Parker, Isabel and Olivia. Cherished brother of Hilary Gillespie.

Predeceased by his parents William & Mary “May” (Hagan) Gillespie. Jack was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1943 and was “shipped” out to Canada, in the 50s, with his parents (William & May) and sister Hilary when he was seven years old. Long story short, he eventually resided in Toronto where he met his wife Nancy Lynn Longley. They were married in 1964, giving their families just one day’s notice!  The result was a 60-year relationship filled with love and devotion.  Jack was best known as a longtime member of the CKNX family in Wingham, starting off as a brash, self-assured salesman before rising to sales manager and eventually general manager of the station. One of his biggest accomplishments was to help spearhead the 2003 “Health Care Heroes’ Radiothon”; something that he continued to be passionate about, even after retirement.

Jack was well known for enjoying long conversations on religion, philosophy, mathematics and politics, and would regularly engage his family in deep kitchen talks after dinner. He also had all of the roads of Southwestern Ontario memorized and could easily give better directions off the top of his head than you’d find on Google Maps. His love of the outdoors led to many adventures down new roads with his favourite passengers. His quick wit, dry humour and love of family (and candy) will be sorely missed. Jack passed in the bleak mid-winter; we honoured and celebrated him on Sunday, June 9th, 2024 at the Wingham Columbus Centre, from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

Andrew Gillespie BEAMISH,  1931 – 2022 Born in London, England and died peacefully in Waterloo, Ontario, age 90 with family by his side. Much of Andrew’s early years were spent during the war. He travelled with his parents and two brothers to North America on state business during that time. Andrew spent most of his youth in England, attended Harrow and Cambridge, and earned a Masters in Mathematics. In the late 1940’s he was commissioned into the British Army and served in post war Europe. After that he followed his father’s footsteps into the insurance industry and qualified as an actuary. Andrew had a rewarding career and was a lead in computerizing Prudential Assurance, working in APL and COBOL in the early 1970’s. He and Inga married September 1, 1956 and moved to Montreal in 1958. He is survived by his four children: Alex, Caroline (Brian), James (Yvonne), Amanda. His three grandsons are Andrew (Crystal), James and Luke (Brianne), and two step grandsons, Matt and Adrian (Julia). Predeceased by his wife, Inga, parents Katharine and George, and brothers Tim and Simon. A constant in his life was choral singing, in schools, community and church choirs. He volunteered many hours at The Church of St John the Evangelist (Anglican) and diocese as well as many other organizations. Cremation will take place. A memorial service was held at Church of St. John the Evangelist (Anglican), 23 Water Street North, Kitchener, on Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 10 a.m., with Rev. Dr. Preston DS Parsons officiating.

Amy FRASER (nee Gillespie) March 8, 1975 – September 26, 2023. The world has been dramatically changed for Marty, Brock and Brody Fraser as they mourn the loss of their beautiful wife and exceptional mother, Amy Fraser. Amy passed away Tuesday, September 26th at the tender age of 48 from stage 4 kidney cancer that had spread to her lungs. Amy’s early years were spent on the family farm in Ayr. She attended Southwood Secondary High School in Cambridge before heading off to the University of Western Ontario. Amy then embarked on a journey that lasted close to five years including Australia, New Zealand, various countries in Africa, many European countries, finally settling in England for a stint prior to her return to Canada. For just over two decades, Amy thrived in the Real Estate Industry operating a highly successful business with her husband and business partner Marty at Bosley Real Estate. They spent an enormous amount of time together and would not have had it any other way. Even in the face of her diagnosis four years ago, Amy chose to embrace life during her treatment.

One place on earth held a special spot in Amy’s heart, the family cottage on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. Over the decades she amassed countless cherished memories during her summers spent with generations of family in Muskoka. Amy and Marty were engaged at the cottage in the summer of 2008, and they were married later that year in Aruba. They have lived in Cambridge together for the past 15 years. Throughout her life Amy forged deep friendships with many scattered throughout the world. She nurtured strong bonds with her three brothers and their families, taking every opportunity possible to connect and always seemed to be one of the last to leave any family party. She never wanted the party to end. She treated life the same way and never wanted the party called life to end.
Amy is survived by her husband Marty Fraser and their two children, Brock and Brody. Beloved daughter of John Gillespie and Mary O’Connor, sister to Aidan Gillespie (Alice), Aaron Gillespie (Laura), Andrew Gillespie  (Katie). Daughter-in-law to Paul and Mary Fraser, sister-in-law to Paula Dymond (Rob) and devoted aunt to her many nephews and nieces including; Anna, Arthur, Audrey, Alex, Raymond, Giuliana, Daniel and Claire Gillespie, Jonah Winkler (Haydn) and Darcy Winkler, Zach Dymond (Dionne) and Kristen Dymond.

Amy FRASER, nee Gillespie  March 8, 1975 – September 26, 2023. The world has been dramatically changed for Marty, Brock and Brody Fraser as they mourn the loss of their beautiful wife and exceptional mother, Amy Fraser. Amy passed away Tuesday, September 26th at the tender age of 48 from stage 4 kidney cancer that had spread to her lungs. Amy’s early years were spent on the family farm in Ayr. She attended Southwood Secondary High School in Cambridge before heading off to the University of Western Ontario. Amy then embarked on a journey that lasted close to five years including Australia, New Zealand, various countries in Africa, many European countries, finally settling in England for a stint prior to her return to Canada. For just over two decades, Amy thrived in the Real Estate Industry operating a highly successful business with her husband and business partner Marty at Bosley Real Estate. They spent an enormous amount of time together and would not have had it any other way.
Even in the face of her diagnosis four years ago, Amy chose to embrace life during her treatment. Apart from family and close friends, few knew Amy had cancer as she expressed her zest for life. It was important to her that cancer did not dictate her remaining life for as long as possible. She wanted to carry on normally and never wanted to miss out. Amy took every opportunity to add another experience to her life resume and rarely said no to adventures. She went to many concerts, attended family vacations and weekends away, volunteered her time in various capacities, cheered on at the sporting events of her children all while being a highly effective realtor, outstanding wife and nurturing mother. One place on earth held a special spot in Amy’s heart, the family cottage on Lake Joseph in Muskoka.
Over the decades she amassed countless cherished memories during her summers spent with generations of family in
Muskoka. Amy and Marty were engaged at the cottage in the summer of 2008, and they were married later that year in Aruba. They have lived in Cambridge together for the past 15 years. Throughout her life Amy forged deep friendships with many scattered throughout the world. She nurtured strong bonds with her three brothers and their families, taking every opportunity possible to connect and always seemed to be one of the last to leave any family party. She never wanted the party to end. She treated life the same way and never wanted the party called life to end.
Amy is survived by her husband Marty Fraser and their two children, Brock and Brody. Beloved daughter of John Gillespie and Mary O’Connor, sister to Aidan Gillespie (Alice), Aaron Gillespie (Laura), Andrew Gillespie (Katie). Daughter-in-law to Paul and Mary Fraser, sister-in-law to Paula Dymond (Rob) and devoted aunt to her many nephews and nieces including; Anna, Arthur, Audrey, Alex, Raymond, Giuliana, Daniel and Claire Gillespie, Jonah Winkler (Haydn) and Darcy Winkler, Zach Dymond (Dionne) and Kristen Dymond. Amy was the niece to many aunts and uncles on both sides of the family along with a long list of cousins and their families.
Friends  called at the Ayr Chapel, Wm. Funeral Home, 183 Northumberland St. Ayr on Thursday, October 5, 2023 from 1-4 p.m. A Celebration of Life  at Knox United Church (92 Northumberland St. Ayr) from 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Eulogies were offered at 8:00 p.m.

Lois Edith Gillespie (nee McDougall), Beloved wife, mom, Granny/Nanny, auntie, and friend passed away on February 9, 2022, at Sakura House, Woodstock, Ontario. Lois is survived by her loving husband Jim and children Lori (Dave) Brenda (Anthony) Tracy (Garth) Mike (Kim) as well as her Grandkids and Great Grandkids and Grand dogs. Awaiting Lois in Heaven with arms wide open are her parents John and Muriel McDougall, brother Donald, sister Marilyn, nephew Kevin McKay along with many of her special furry friends.

Mom was born October 22/1945 and raised in the Norwood area of Winnipeg, Manitoba. She attended Nelson MacIntyre Collegiate. She started working for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce after high school and shortly thereafter she met and fell in love with Jim. Jim and Lois married on September 4, 1965 and started their family. Being a bank family, our family was often transferred to towns and cities within Manitoba and Ontario including Thunder Bay, Dauphin and Portage la Prairie. Mom was able to easily make and collect friends at each stop along the way. Lois was our family matriarch and peacekeeper. She loved each of us deeply. She was always very supportive and always had our backs.  Lois’ zest and enthusiasm for life and learning were evident in the many groups that she has been involved in over the years: Rotary Club, Bonsai Society of Winnipeg, Winnipeg Orchid Society, Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre, Charleswood Camels, London Orchid Society and Golf Clubs South Interlake, Glendale, Breezy Bend (where she had a hole- in-one) and Cobble hills most recently. She had a love of animals/nature/plants and a special knack for Bonsai but could grow anything well. She loved watching the birds until her last days.

Ronald James Gillespie (Ron) passed away very peacefully, his wife Marcelle by his side, at Wentworth Lodge in Dundas,  February 21, 2021. He was born Aug 21, 1924. . He is  survived by his daughters Ann (Stewart Patch) and Lynn (Geoffrey Levin) from his previous marriage to Madge (d. 2008). He is predeceased by his brother Alan (London, UK) and sister Jean (Paris, France). Ron was born and spent his school years in London, England. Interested in science from an early age, he studied at University College London, where he obtained his PhD in Chemistry and was appointed as Assistant Lecturer in 1948.  In 1949, he met Madge Garner on a Rambler’s Club hiking trip to Switzerland. It must have been love at first sight, as they were married the following year (July 7, 1950) at the Northampton Town Hall (Madge’s hometown). In 1953, Ron was offered a 9-month Commonwealth Fund Fellowship to work at Brown University, Rhode Island. Provided with a car and travel funds, Ron and Madge spent the following summer car-camping across the US and eastern Canada, one of many international adventures they would share. In 1958 Ron accepted a faculty position in the Department of Chemistry at McMaster University, and moved his young family to Dundas, Ontario. Ron had a long and successful career in both research and teaching. His first-year university chemistry text book helped modernize the teaching of chemistry. His VSEPR model of molecular geometry is widely used and taught today. The many graduate students and post-doctoral fellows trained by him became professors or professional chemists at institutions throughout the world. Ron and his family enjoyed sabbatical and study leaves in England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, and India. After 30 years at McMaster, Ron retired from teaching in 1988, but continued to further his research, publishing numerous articles and several books. Ron’s distinguished career in inorganic chemistry garnered him many awards and honorary degrees. Most notably, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1965, Fellow of the Royal Society, London in 1977, and received the Order of Canada in 2007.  In retirement, he and Madge spent many happy summers sailing around Georgian Bay on their “floating cottage.” In June 2008, Ron sadly lost Madge. Later in 2008, he moved to the Amica Dundas retirement residence, where he was most fortunate to meet the second love of his life, Marcelle Roy. They shared many interests, including world travel, and enjoyed summers at her Georgian Bay cottage. They married in December 2010 and lived together at Amica until Ron’s declining physical health necessitated a move into Wentworth Lodge in Dundas.
