Dear Aunt Ro, Mike and Tim - Words cannot express how much Uncle Ed and all of you mean to me. I have so many memories of us growing up on Claremont. (Tim - I still want my bike back). I am grateful to Uncle Ed for always making sure Grandma was taken care of and for always being there for my dad. He was a great man and our lives are better for knowing him. Aunt Ro, you are Angel for all you have done for Unlce Ed. I cannot wait to see all of you. Love - Kathy

Mr. Gilmartin provided many young men with leadership while coaching. Unselfish devotion to the game he loved and making a difference in the lives of many, many young men is a lasting memorial. When I reflect on the three seasons I spent with the Chargers and several more as their opponent, Mr. Gilmartin stood out as a great guy.
Now that I am coaching youth football, memories of people like Coach Ed are even more appreciated.
May he rest in peace.

I am a friend of Mike. God bless all of you as you grieve. God's grace be with the whole family.

I knew Coach Gilmartin for a number of years while attending sports med at St. Patrick HS. He was one of those people who could light up a room with his laughter. He helped me become who i am today, which is something i will never forget. My sympathy goes out to all of his family members. You will be truly be missed Coach.

One of the greatest uncles, no men, ever! He was as loving and friendly as he was tough(or so he wanted all to think). He will be missed by ALL.
Ro,Mike and Tim, all my love and sympathy.

Rosie, I am so sorry for your loss. Talking with Ed on the phone when we were at work and dinner at our place are a few of the very fond memories in my heart. Love Always, Caroline
