Paul GILMORE Obituary
December 5, 1925 – April 8, 2015
A much-loved husband, father, grandfather and uncle, Paul passed away peacefully at home with his wife of 61 years by his side. He is survived by his wife Maryke and his children Ian (Tenley) and Karen (Rob), as well as his cherished grandchildren Thomas, Eric, Jenny and Allie, and his nephew John and niece Sharon. He was predeceased by his siblings Bob, John and Molly. Paul was born in Lethbridge, grew up in Vancouver, and served in the RCAF. He studied at UBC, Cambridge (St John's College) and Amsterdam University. After a successful career at IBM Research in New York, he returned with his family to Vancouver to become Head of the Computer Science Dept at UBC. Paul was a scientist and a logician, who loved the arts and the outdoors, and was a wonderful loving family man and a good friend to many. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, April 20, 2015 at 11 a.m. at Christ Church Cathedral at Burrard & Georgia in Vancouver. Donations in his memory will be welcomed by the Christ Church Cathedral Building Fund and the UBC Bursary Endowment Fund.

What a privilege to have known Paul. If ever there was a "gentleman and a scholar", it was Paul Gilmore.
