Ed Gilmore was a dear and loyal friend to my husband, Philip Moran. Their friendship spanned many years and was built on trust, shared stories, and a quiet understanding that comes with true mateship. RIP Ed. Veronica Moran.
Sending our deepest condolences to the Gilmore family.

Thinking back over many years of memories, Helen. Special thoughts, sincere sympathy, Jeanette Newson.
Ed was the master of the slice, regularly confounding all of his mates at Fairy Meadow Tennis Club where he was a loved and respected player for many years. We already miss you, Ed, our mate..
First met Ed in late 1968 at Gilmore Tennis Club and in later years had the pleasure to work with him at the Illawarra County Council. A wonderful friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I have distant memories of you Helen and Ed when you were both so young …beautiful and handsome , a dating couple as our neighbours in Lauder Avenue.
Both of you were so kind and much loved friends to my parents , Peg and Malcolm Day .
Thinking of you now Helen and send my love from the UK where I now live .
