Patrick Allen Gillespie born August 13, 1943 to Mary Olive Shepherd Gillespie & Harold E Gillespie in Great Falls, Montana. Pat grew up in Great Falls and earned his degrees in Oregon. Summa Cum Laude, while earning a Bachelor of Arts degree at Linfield College. That wasn’t all that he earned there.  He also acquired Masters degrees in Teaching and in Business Administration at Portland State and Willamette University, respectively. Always learning and helping others.

He also met and earned the love, devotion and teamwork of his wife, Dianna Louise Judson at Linfield College. They were married August 29, 1965 and were married for 58 wonderful years. After Linfield and his wedding, he joined the United States Marine Corps. He may not have earned a degree for that, but he received quite an education. It probably helped in being a great father and leader of his family, in addition to his strong will and calm, during crises. He also got his first taste of computers in San Diego and Barstow where he was stationed.

He taught for a few years and then moved toward his love of technology and computers. He used that love and his education and degrees, at OHSU and for the State of Oregon in the Senior & Disabled Services Division as a Budget Analyst. He also volunteered for his church, Trinity United Methodist Church and the other Methodist churches in the area, in many capacities, including as Treasurer, for many years. In his free time, yes he managed his life well enough to have some, he enjoyed golfing, reading and computers.

He is survived by his wife, Dianna, his two kids Sean and Heather. His 4 Grandchildren (Aleisha; Jackie; Olivia and William) and his Great Granddaughter (Aspen). He is also survived by his brother, Jim Gillespie and his wife, Kathy as well as his kids Michelle (Grant) and Teresa a(Robert) and their Grandkids. Also his brother in law Don Judson and his wife Rhonda and their kids Don (Kimberly) and Chris (Lisa) and their Grandkids.
