Born August 19, 1947 in Manners Sutton, NB, he was a son of the late Roy and Virginia (James) Gillespie. Don was known for his work as a Hair Stylist, which was so much more than just a job to him.

Don will be missed by his step-mother, Josie Gillespie; sister, Bonnie Charters; brother, Wendell (Junie); step-brothers: Glenn, Peter, and Paul Thompson; friends and extended family members. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Twilla Featherstone; and brothers, Eugene and Larry Gillespie. The family would like to thank Palliative Care doctors, staff of Bobby’s Hospice, and especially the Extra Mural nurses for their wonderful care. Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424), with visiting on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 from 4 to 8 pm.
