John GILMOUR Obituary
John died on December 26, 2021 as a result of a glioblastoma brain cancer. He was the son of Hugh James (Red) Gilmour and Marjorie (Murgatroyd) Gilmour, and spent his life in Fort Erie.
John was predeceased by his sister Anne Hamer, and is survived by his brother James (Jim) of Lanark, Ontario, five nieces and other relatives, many in the Fort Erie area.
He was a well known SCUBA diver, an accomplished computer/networking consultant, a HAM (VE3NKH) radio operator, a pilot, a motorcyclist, an auto mechanic, and a caregiver and helper to many.
John was a life-long student and keen observer of people and events. Whether travelling across North America on a motorcycle, assessing new cars, or criticizing Fort Erie's Town Council, John did everything to the full, and with joy and passion.
He will be missed by his close friends, including his former best friend Sue Marley.
The family would like to thank his closest friend, Donna Wood, who looked after his health during his illness, and provided continuous care for his final days.
John has been cremated through Williams Funeral Services Ridgeway, and his ashes will be spread in the Niagara River, where he spent many happy hours diving.

I met John not long after I moved in Ontario through my mom and Robert who have known him for many years. I was always baking banana bread and making sure John had a loaf for himself to enjoy. He always appreciated that. He was so sweet and kind. Thank you John for everything that you did for my mom and Robert. R.I.P Bud you are missed

Speaking on behalf of the members of the Decew Gun Club I would like to say that we are genuinely saddened by John's passing at far too young an age. He was a member for several years and was an active participant and valued contributor to the club, frequently helping with maintenance and providing many good suggestions for making the club a better facility. We will greatly miss his presence there.
Out sincerest sympathies are extended to John's family and friends at this very sad time.

I was shocked to learn of John's passing. He was a unique individual who always livened the conversation at our weekly dinner which was suspended because of Covid-19. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
