Curt K. Gillispie
January 1, 1957-Aug. 22, 2003

On Friday, the 22nd of August, the community of Weiser, Idaho, lost one of her 
beloved sons, Curt Gillispie. Born on January 1st, 1957, in Ontario, Oregon, 
his heart would never drift far from the banks of the Snake River. In his days, 
he would see sights of places that many of us could only dream of, yet he 
remained true to the small border town of Weiser. He was a warrior of the 
highways, astride a Harley Davidson, and traveled the roads throughout the 
United States to include Washington, D. C., Nevada, Arizona, California, 
Wyoming, South Dakota, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. 
Those who were close to Curt will never forget his trademark laughter and 
smile. He loved making rounds about the community and enjoying the company of 
friends and family over coffee. Even outside of Weiser, he never forgot from 
where he came and took that community spirit with him. Even in towns of hurry 
and bustle he would smile from ear to ear and wave at a passing car. "Who was 
that?" we would ask. "I don't know, but they waved back," Curt would reply. 
Making wherever he went just a little bit brighter. 
He was a saint, a trickster, an uncle, a son, a brother, a husband and a 
friend. He was a great man that embodied the true spirit of Americana, hope, 
destine, community, brotherhood, laughter and love. A pure soul, which we could 
only hope to aspire to the happiness and generosity he passed to everyone he 
touched. We miss you Curt. 
His wife, Barbara Gillispie, survives him. May the laughter they shared forever 
echo in our hearts. Curt and Barbara were married on Jan. 25, 1982 and no two 
people could have been more perfectly matched. As he would take to the air and 
freefall, Barbara would learn the powered parachute. Then as Curt traversed 
terrain on his motorcycle, Barbara would soon join his side on the road. They 
worked, lived, loved and laughed together. In spirit, may they never part.
