CCC Mourns The Loss Of Another Long Time Member Henry "Happy" Gilmore

Henry M. "Happy" Gilmore, 69, of Hamden, passed away at his home on May 4, 2022. Born in New Haven on April 29, 1953 he was the son of the late Henry F. and Barbara (Wehner) Gilmore. Henry is survived by his wife Lizz (Ehly) Gilmore; his sister Patricia Burke Gilmore of North Haven and his nephew Gary Burke of Colorado. Henry retired from the Town of Hamden Department of Public Works in 2017. He was a man that was always doing something. Most of his life he resided in Hamden. He repaired, transported, bought and sold cars after his retirement. He was a member of the Conn. Classic Chevy Club and was an avid Nascar fan. Happy could always be counted on to be Santa Clause in his Hamden Community for many organizations during the holiday season.
Henry was laid to rest on May 7, 2022 at St. Mary's Cemetery. The Beecher & Bennett Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
