Below are some of the statements shared across social media users’ timelines on the death of Gilmore.
“My heart is truly broken due to the passing of the man that I call my friend, my daddy, pops, boss and Mr. Jerry C. Gilmore III. Mr. Gilmore has been in my life and been a blessing to me for over the past 23 years.. He took me in and under his wings when no one else would and every door was closed. I will miss him so much, especially our routine morning coffee talks and just sitting around at the funeral home discussing life. He taught me everything I know about the funeral home business. 1609 North Liberty Street will never be the same. As a staff member of Gilmore Memorial Funeral Service Inc
there will be a great void but with the help of the Lord and much prayer we will go on. Please continue to keep the entire Gilmore family and the Gilmore Staff lifted in prayer.
You have fought a good fight and you have finished your course, now take your rest sir and I’ll see you in the morning 😥💔🖤
