My heartfelt wishes to Gayleen, Dave and the family, that you will treasure the memories you have of AJ. Life was never boring or dull when we had our time together. AJ had a presence about him that filled the room. We shared many stories and experiences together. I’m at peace knowing he will never be alone. AJ, I’m certain your sons will have you fishing, just as long you don’t get sea sick. Cheers to a man who lived a life surrounded by family and friends! Salute AJ Nancy Gillespie.
