William Gilmor Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of William Gilmor (Cold Spring Harbor, New York), born in Oyster Bay, New York, who passed away on May 22, 2025, at the age of 83, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of William Gilmor to show support.

As William departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though William may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy William leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Sandra Gilmor (Plant); his sisters, Elizabeth Wills and Elizabeth Meyer; his daughters, Hether Danforth (Brian) and Ashley Myles (George); and his grandchildren, Porter, Zander Danforth, Ellie and Caroline Myles.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Mark's School in Southborough, MA, in honor of Gavin's enduring connection to the school that helped shape his journey.
