Robert Gail Gillespie 
Services: Thurs., Feb. 16, 11 a.m. 

Robert Gail Gillespie, a kind father, grandfather, and friend to many, passed 
away on February 12, 2006, at the age of 82 following a short illness. 

Graveside services will be held at Greenlawn Cemetery on Thursday, February 
16th, at 11:00 a.m., with his grandson, Rev. Robert Longbottom officiating. 
Bob, a native of Bakersfield, was born on December 14, 1923, the eighth of 
eleven children to John Conley and Zoa Claudine Gillespie. After attending 
local schools, he served in the U.S. Army during World War II earning various 
Medals of Honor and being discharged as a Sergeant. He married Barbara Lime in 
1947 and they had three daughters Kendal, Marilynne, and Janice. Some of the 
old-timers may remember Bob from working at Peacock Dairy, others from his 
Chevron Station on South Chester Ave. He spent his final working days as a 
route salesman at Carnation. He married Iva Gean Del Re in 1984 and they had 
18 happy years before her death in 2002. Bob is survived by his brother, Tom 
Gillespie; daughters, Kendal and her husband, Roger Miller, Marilynne 
McDuffey, and Janice Pasquini; grandchildren, Matthew, Robert, Nancy, Jeannie, 
Katie, Michael, Jeffrey, and Anthony; ten great- grandchildren; and his best 
buddy, his dog, Sunday. Bob is also survived by his deceased wife's four sons 
and their families, which includes his special daughter-in-law, Norma DelRe, 
who did so very much for him in the last few years. He affectionately called 
her his 4th daughter. The family requests that you make any donations to your 
favorite charity. For floral delivery or any additional information, please
