He settled down and married his second wife Sonya, had a son, Lance and moved from Whitehouse, Yukon to Winnipeg in 1959 to 1960. He worked in construction, mostly as an Electrician for the next 39 years in Winnipeg. Many knew him as one to always jump in and help.

Survived by Sonya Gilmour of Winnipeg, Lance Gilmour of Billings, Montana; nephews, Ken Gilmour and family at Rose Prairie, BC; Dale Gilmour and family at Calgary, Darrel Gilmour of BC; sisters-in-law, Denise Gilmour and Heather Gilmour. All the family and anyone who knew him will never forget him for all his stories of the early homestead years in his life. He chose to live his life as he wanted. He wanted no fanfare, so please no flowers. As per his request, his ashes will be placed at the foot of the Grand Tetons. The family also wishes to thank all the staff at Health Sciences Centre for their help and dedication.
