Stuart Bradley Gilboord

GILBOORD, Stuart – On Friday, July 27, 2025 at his home. Stuart Gilboord, loving father and father-in-law of Tammy Gilboord and Douglas Skidgmore, and Aaron Gilboord and Jennifer Lambert. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Eric Gilboord and Linda Tenenbaum, and Bruce and Sari Gilboord.
Cherished Papa/Grandpa of Ryan and Lena, Hailey, Cyris and Jade, Paige, Talon, Logan, Drew, and Ayden, and great grandpa of Sawyer. Just a few names my dad was honored to have for being the wonderful grandfather he was.
My earliest memory is of my dad carrying me on his back in High Park teaching me silly songs.. There’s a Hole in my Bucket Dear Liza and What’s Your Name Little Girl? My name is Ida. For much of my young life my dad and I were separated by an ocean. As an adult I came to expect the unexpected with his eccentric ways. His zest for life was exceptional, he always saw a silver lining. And his love for buffets was well known.
When diagnosed with cancer, it did not get him down or change his outlook. It was just a challenge to overcome. His positive attitude was truly an inspiration.
He was a much loved grandfather and admired by many.
His motto said it all; happines is an inside job.
He truly lived by this motto.
