Kevin Rand Gillespie
?? - 2010
Gentlemen:It is with profound sadness that I report the death of our beloved Member, friend and Hospitality Committee chairman Kevin Rand Gillespie, who died quietly in his sleep at home last night following a recent battle with pneumonia. Kevin was a member of Clan MacPherson and an active volunteer with a number of local organizations, most notably The Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the first Roman Catholic facility in the United States) and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, where Thursday a week ago he and Sue attended the Volunteer Recognition Dinner held on March 25th (see attached photograph from that evening). Kevin loved railroads and trains; worked in the travel industry; and just recently celebrated his 61st birthday. He joined the Society in 1990 and would have received his twenty year membership anniversary pin at this year's Anniversary Dinner.
Our prayers of thanksgiving for the life of our brother in the kilt, and of deepest sympathy and condolences to Sue and their family, are offered on this loss of our close friend and companion who will always be remembered for his willingness to help out. Although he could not march because of his recent health issues, Kevin still came to Emmanuel Church on March 14th to cheer on the Escort to the Colors at the end of this year's annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
Grace, peace and love to you, Kevin, as you join the Flowers of the Forest. May light perpetual shine upon you.
