Dan Gilroy

After Hymers, Dan read Science at Trinity College, Cambridge and went on to take a PhD in Chemistry. After three years working in Ottawa he spent the rest of his working life in Cheshire doing research for the Electricity Council.

He lost his wife, Annette, to cancer in 1982.

In his spare time Dan was a highly respected coach and official for his local athletics club.

In his later years he experienced serious mobility problems which led to a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease. He moved to a nursing home in Bath where, a few years later, he passed away on 15th August, 2021. He is survived by his three daughters.
