So sorry to hear about Frank. My wife and I ('85 grads) got to know him at our church in Tampa in the late '90s. He was a great man, and was always very kind and personable to us. Prayers please for his family.

I'm sure he'll rest in peace. Not many have lived such an impressive life. Captain America doesn't have these kind of credentials!
RIP Dr. Gillespie.

your posts recently. But my heart is heavy now, and my mood is somber, and it will be for the rest of the evening. I feel like I knew him. There really is something about this Tiger brotherhood that binds us all together...
Thoughts and prayers, be happy that he led such a great life.

Franc, I do know what you are going through. I did it with Mom last October, and in Dec 2008 with Dad(1941). Your Faith will carry you through this. Grieve in your own way. Rejoice your Dad is with the Lord and so may of his friends. Know you have the prayers and support of all of Tiger Nation. God's Blessings to you and your Family.

Dr. Frank, as he was known, was truly a great man. His accomplishments on the athletic field was only a beginning of the the impact that he would have in this world. With no embellishment, I can truly say he was one of the kindest human beings I have ever known. He touched the lives of everyone that he came in contact with. He was not only a kind and gentle man, but he was also a man of God. He severed as an example of what a man should truly be. He was a fine representative of Clemson and wish that everyone of you Clemson fans could have known him. You would be better person for that experience.
