Joseph James Gilmore

Joe was a beautiful son, brother and friend. He loved every kind of sport, on his gravestone it says "best all around athlete" His life was carelessly and tragically cut short by a hit and run drunk driver. He will never be forgotten, he had eyes of crystal blue and he had a heart to match his beautiful eyes. He was awesome!! He was a leader and people looked up to him, a few days before he died he told our Mother he wasnt afraid to die, and when she didnt take him to church for a while he would ask her to take him, which is kind of unusual for a teenager. He was also going to be the gymnastics captain in the upcoming year, another sport he loved. He loved his family so much. He was kind of like the "man" of the house, as he never really had his father around alot but he loved you and supported all your sporting events especially hockey, and a beautiful Mother who loved you more then words could ever say, your sisters and brother too. We will alway love and miss you, and never forget your beautiful memory.

Passed away on July 17, 1975
