Molly and family, We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He will be missed greatly and we have so many wonderful memories. Heaven has just received another angel. We are praying for you all.

Unfortunately I cannot attend this Friday, as I am in for my 58,000 mile (58 years old) check at Stratford General. Molly and family, one of my fondest memories of returning to my hometown in the early 80’s was to finally meet and get to know the Gilmores. Bob always had a sunny way about him and I always enjoyed the chats with Bob,Molly and Barb initially, and then Doug and Gay with whom I remained in touch. Pam and I are pleased to be friends with Doug and Gay some twenty five plus years later. Although I haven’t seen Bob in some years (the food court at Maisonville?) we were very sad to hear of his health problems during the past few years. We often asked about you both. Please accept our thoughts and prayers / Best / Mark

Heard such fond words about Bob from Sherry. Have only known Sherry for a short while, but know how much Bob and Molly mean to her.

God will give you strength that you never thought you had.

Lots of prayers.

Molly we are so sorry to hear of Bob;s passing. He was a good man and you were certainly great friends. Our thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. Sorry we cannot attend the service, other coimmitment.

Our condolences to Molly:

I just read in the Kitchener paper of Bob’s death and we are very sorry to hear that. I think I owe Bob for helping me get over my fear of bidding at sales… he always had such a nice, kind smile and took me by name, and I felt comfortable in sticking my neck out and going for it! He was a real gentleman and good friend, even if we didn’t see alot of you folks. To me you still seem to be “around the corner,” taking care of a little handicapped girl and busy as bees in your many activities! I can’t picture him at his present age! But we’re all getting there, I guess. We just don’t see each other alot to watch each other growing older.

To Gilmore Family,
During this time of profound sadness for those left behind, know that your husband, your father, your grandad, your uncle, brother and friend, touched so many lives during his years .
It is with fond memories I recall many, many Saturday mornings with my family enjoying the auction, the commoraderie and friendship of Listowel.
With wishes from the whole Fagan Family,
Judy Sparks

Dear Gilmore family,

Marlene and I and all of our family are saddened to learn of the passing of our old friend Bob. It has been many years since Listowel times, but those memories of kindness, pleasantness, and unfailing good humour flood back into our minds and hearts.

Bob was a great man – there is no higher honour. Our prayers are with you Molly and your lovely family at this time, knowing that your strength of faith will continue in the days ahead.

Extended my sincered sympathy to each of you. Sincerely, Lois Reoch

Dear Doug, Gay and the Gilmore family;
We wish to extend our deepest condolences on the loss of Bob.
He was such a wonderful man. Our fondest memories of Bob will always lead us to the auctions he so masterfully conducted. We’ll always remember the feeling it gave, when you finally discovered that he did,in fact, see your hand, and you got that treasure you were wanting. And even if you probably, to him, looked scared , even terrified….he always made you feel, in control, and very special that you indeed completed that bid.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, during this difficult time.
Very sincerely,
Evelyn and Mike Grosz, of Listowel
and also the Grosz Families, and Johnston Families

Molly, Doug, Gay and Family

Our thoughts are with you at this time. I enjoyed my years
working with Bob and attending Gilmore autions.
Bob was a wonderful funny man. He always had a
good joke to share. He will be greatly missed.

Bob was responsible for instilling my love of auctions. I remember him very clearly refusing all other bids to let a shy girl of 9 years old buy her first auction item! I have missed seeing him on the podium.
My sympathies to your family.

Molly and family

So sorry to hear about Bob. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Molly.Doug and Gay,Barb and Stow ,Sandy and Scot ,Sherry and all your families
Jack and I were saddened to hear of Bob’s passing.
He will always be considered to be “one of our favouite friends.”
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
See you on Friday
Love Jack and Bev

I had cause to speak with Doug recently and as always asked about his Mom and Dad. I was saddened to hear of the news from Brother-in-law Jack Gibson. I hold fond memories when we were all in our home town of Listowel. Marlene, my memory takes me back to your home farm and Hi School days. Wow, what a lot of water under the bridge since then!. You and Bob made one beautiful couple. I don’t know all of your family – but I do know Doug – if he is an example , you have been blessed with a wonderful family who will be by your side through the days ahead.
May God bless you all.
Sincerely
Marlene Gibson

Molly, Doug, Barb, Sandy, Sherry and families

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I was just asking about where you are living Sandy.
We are thinking of you all during this difficult time

Dear Gilmour Family: because of distances and time, I had lost track of Bob, but his warm and sincere smile will always be remembered. I knew Bob through music, square dancing and community events, and I offer my condolence to his family — his passing will leave a major vacancy in the family and the community.

Gary Struthers, Guelph

To All of the Gilmore Family

I was saddened to hear of Bob leaving us but I knew that God wouldn’t let him stay with us forever because he would surely need such a wonderful fellow to be with him. Quite simply, Bob was one of the good guys – always a warm smile and a sparkle in his eyes – everything just seemed right when Bob was around – he had a way of making everyone feel that they were the most special person in the room.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Donna

Molly,
Just saw on the Banner webpage about Bob. Cannot believe it. Does not seem that long ago when he had our farm auction. We tried to look you up but were told you were in Strathroy. Litle did we know you were in Exeter. Wish now we had tried harder. Our thoughts are with you.

Lorne & Jo

Sandy and Family,
What a wonderful tribute to your Father. Our sincere condolences to you in your time of sorrow. You will meet again.
