Robert Gilmore Obituary

Dr Gilmore was always there for us, answering many questions from a new mom and dad. He was not only a doctor, but a guide through their childhoods, later becoming a mentor to my younger son's decision to be a doctor himself.



Thank you to his family and friends for allowing him to be such a part of our lives. Please accept our deepest sympathy and know our prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gilmore family. Dr. Gilmore was a wonderful doctor -we were very sad when he retired and our son's next pediatrician had big shoes to fill! We knew that our son was being well taken care of. May he rest in peace.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest sympathies to the Gilmore family. I was so very saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Gilmore. It was a sad day for us when Dr. Gilmore retired and I can only hope that he had wonderful retirement years.



Dr. Gilmore was a class act. How many physicians give you a home phone number to call at any time of the day or night? Dr. Gilmore was always there for my family. He always had sound advice for us. As a young mother with no idea on what to do, Dr. Gilmore guided me along the trials and tribulations of motherhood with a kind word and great advice. With all the ear infections, colic, dehydration, chicken pox, immunizations and countless TB tests, it seemed that we were in Dr. Gilmore’s office every month. Dr. Gilmore and Holly never turned us away. We were never told to wait until tomorrow. If there was a problem, we were always given an appointment immediately.



Dr. Gilmore was the only physician to diagnosis my son’s “fifth disease”. He gave me great advice on dealing with a colicky baby. Dr. Gilmore did not flinch when I called him at 2 am to report my newborn baby’s elevated temperature.



It is with great sadness that I write this note. I don’t think anyone in my family will ever be able to eat a Salerno Butter Cookie without thinking of Dr. Gilmore. We will always remember Dr. Gilmore as a kind and knowledgeable man and a wonderful pediatrician. Our family was honored to be patients of Dr. Gilmore and we wish to extend our sympathies to his family.

I want the children of Dr. Gilmore to know how much we appreciate their sharing of their father...he made a very worried young mom or dad feel much calmer about the difficult job of raising children.

Julie Gilmore Roe was a friend of mine at Marquette. My deepest sympathies to her and the rest of the family. Dr. Gilmore must have been a wonderful man to have raised such an intelligent, life loving daughter. My prayers are with you.

Dr Gilmore took care of 15 members of my extended family. He was the best. We still talk about giving our kids kanana banana for cereal, and paragoric for teething when they were babies. We have yet to find a Dr. who will take the time to listen like he would. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

Dr. Gilmore was our family's doctor for many years. He cared for the 6 of us and than our own children. He helped us thru many childhood illnesses and we were always grateful for his compassion and kind ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dr. Gilmore took care of my two children, now 39 and 35. Always gave me great advice. He was a great doctor.

Thank-you for years of care. You took care of me like I was one of your own children and took great care and compassion during a terrible illness. You will be greatly missed. I only wish I was born sooner so you could have taken care of my children.

My sisiter and I were patients of Dr. Gilmore's from the time we were born until the day he retired. If he didn't retire he would still be my doctor, and I would probibly be his oldest patient. I will always remember going in to see him and leaving with Salerno butter cookies on my fingers. My family and I want to send his family our condolences and prayers. He will be missed very much.

I will always be grateful to Dr. Gilmore for his wonderful medical knowledge that diagnosed my son's disease when other doctors could not. He was always there for us and that "gruffness" with the twinkle in the eye was just what was needed to make a toddler stop crying. He was truly a special doctor. My sympathies to his family.

Dr. Gilmore is fondly rememebered by both myself and my kids. We were really upset when he retired and we had to start going to a new doctor. His sense of humor always lightened up the visit, no matter how long you waited to see him. You always knew he would answer all your questions fully and never rush you. My sympathy to all his family and friends.
