He was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Eva Gillingham; spouse: Dorcas; and sisters Dora Bell and Stella. The family would like to send a special thank-you to the staff of St. Patrick’s Mercy Home for the great care they provided and compassion they showed.

He was also a very social person; he enjoyed spending time with family and friends, where he would often tell stories of growing up on Sop’s Island, a place he often enjoyed visiting. The family will be having a private gathering at St. Michaels Anglican Church on Saturday, December 5th, and the funeral service will be at 2:00 pm on December 5th and due to Covid19 it will be restricted to a maximum of 50 people.
