Gilman started life on his parents' potato & cattle farm during the Great Depression, when life was of a different era.

In the late 50's and early 60's, Gilman worked in the Boiler System at Limestone Air Base while also working alongside his father on the family farm in Keegan. His background gave him an interest in becoming a member of Agriculture Bargaining Council, Maine Potato Grower, Maine Potato Board, Van Buren Planning & Budget Committees, MSAD #24 School Board, Knights of Columbus, 4 ^th Degree Assembly, Chairman of St. Remi Parish Council, and his greatest pride of being President of the Aroostook County Action Program Policy Council for about 30 years.

He leaves his wife Aurella (Gervais) Morin of 60 years of Van Buren, his children Angela Gagnon and her husband John of New Sweden, John Morin and wife Jheri "Skip", Steven Morin, and Gloria Guerrette and husband Wayne, all of Van Buren, his sisters Viola (Morin) Ouellette and Benita (Morin) Ouellette and her husband Gerard,  9 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
