GILLESPIE, Bill

GILLESPIE BILL GILLESPIE, a man of quiet stature and sardonic wit, peacefully passed away July 10, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Bill’s departure leaves a void that will be felt deeply by his wife of 46 years, Jill Quirk, and their children: Kevin (Nao), and their son, Logan; Lauren (Ollie) and their daughter, Maeve; and Tria (Dan).
Bill and Jill were inseparable, doing everything together. Jill had a knack for telling Bill what to do, when to do it, and sometimes how to do it as well. For his part, Bill was known to roll his eyes and mutter under his breath various remarks about “bossy wives.” Their dynamic was a source of amusement to all who knew them, a testament to their deep bond and special partnership.
Bill held the household together, ensuring the kids were on track with their schoolwork and activities. He was a good organizer-unless, of course, you were looking for his tools, which he never quite mastered the art of putting away.
Bill enjoyed taking long beach walks, searching for sea glass, on the beach at the PEI cottage he loved, where he and his family spent many seasons creating memories with new and old friends and family. Bill’s next great love – for the UK -saw him enjoying many holidays overseas, visiting British relatives, with canal boat adventures in Wales being a particular favourite activity of his.
A national competitive swimmer inducted into the Lethbridge Hall of Fame, Bill’s passion for the sport saw him not only in the pool but at the heart of the Lethbridge swimming community. As a coach, he mentored and inspired many young swimmers, fostering talent and building lifelong friendships within the swimming community across Canada.
Known for his frugality, Bill was a connoisseur of thrift store finds, especially long-sleeved checkered shirts. This frugality was always matched by his immense generosity towards family and friends, for whom he spared no expense.
Despite his practical ways, Bill had a refined appreciation for fine art, 60’s and 70’s rock music and particularly, good single malt scotch. Many memorable evenings were spent in the authentic British pub he built in his basement, listening to “tunes,” sharing some of his finest bottles and imparting the art of scotch appreciation to friends and family.
Bill will be missed. We raise a glass in his honour, celebrating a good life well-lived and a man well-loved by his family and friends. Cheers to you, Bill.

SEIBEL, Cary

SEIBEL CARY WAYNE SEIBEL passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital with family by his side in the early morning hours of Monday, July 15, 2024 at the age of 62 years.
He was an exceptional individual who quickly made friends with anyone who crossed his path. He is previously deceased by his best friend, love of his life, and wife of 29 years, Donna Seibel. He is survived by his adoring daughters Carly (Chris) Goruk and Andrea Seibel (Chris Shaw); and his grandchildren, the lights of his life, Logan and Lindon Goruk. He is also lovingly remembered by his brothers, Duane (Michelle) Seibel and Darren (Marie) Seibel, along with a large extended family including many nieces and nephews.
Cary had an incredibly active social life, meeting regularly throughout Lethbridge to see friends over a latte, or catch up over a good meal. He will be forever remembered by asking intriguing questions to better learn about his new friends, and save that memory away for a later date.
Cary fought long and hard over the past 20 years, and although his body gave up the fight, he never did. He was strong, caring, proud, loving and generous with his family and friends – both old and new.
The family wishes to thank all of the people involved in helping Cary with his battle. He had tremendous doctors, nurses and medical teams in both Calgary and Lethbridge who not only took excellent care of him, but treated Cary for the amazing person he was, and not just another patient.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Cary’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (heartandstroke.ca)
A Celebration of Cary’s Life will be held at the AGRI-FOOD HUB & TRADE CENTRE, 101 Exhibition Way South, Lethbridge, AB, on Friday, July 19, 2024 at 4:00 P.M.
