Obituary for Arthur Gilmore
Gilmore, Arthur Claude 1935 – 2021, passed away at his home in Truro on December 9, 2021. Born in North Head, Grand Manan, NB to the late Mary and Ray Gilmore. His home roots were important to him with visits home being important occasions.
A graduate of the Maritime Forest Ranger School and the Nova Scotia Land Survey Institute, Art had a varied career, ranging from forestry, land surveying and hydrometric surveying with Environment Canada. He especially enjoyed his work of 32 years with the Inland Waters Survey Branch of Environment Canada. During his retirement years, he was a proud member of the “River Waders”.
A loving husband, patient and supportive father, proud grandfather and a loyal friend. Together, he and Joan raised their three children in Dartmouth, NS.
Survived by devoted wife of 61 years, Joan (White); son, Todd (Nancy) of Lawrencetown; daughters, Jenny (Debbie) of Bible Hill and Janelle (Paul) of Valley. Also survived by grandchildren, Jessica (Justin) and Michael (Amber), Lawrencetown. Predeceased by special cousins, Hazel, Jerome and Wilbur Gilmore.
Art was a proud Grand Mananer. He and Joan travelled frequently to the island where they enjoyed family visits and the care of the family homestead. A true family man right to the end who always provided unconditional love, support and companionship to all. He had an unending love for his wife Joan, his children, their spouses and especially his two grandchildren.
The family is grateful for the thoughts and prayers of family and friends at this difficult time. The support of the Home Dialysis Unit in Halifax; VON Colchester County and Dr. Trevor Locke have been greatly appreciated.
Donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation, Truro Branch or the VON Colchester County Branch.
