Born on January 5, 1959 to Harry and Barbara (Reib) Gilmore, Harry was known to all as “a great horseman” and worked with horses professionally throughout his life.

Along with horses, he had a special connection with cats. Harry spent his free time hunting, fishing, and golfing with good friends and was also an avid gardener. He loved historical documentaries, old westerns and Ted Lasso. Harry is preceded in death by his sister, Dianna Gilmore, his father, Harry Gilmore, and his mother, Barbara Gilmore.
