His residence was 341 East 200 North in Rupert.Gaymore was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He died as a stalwart and dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ, ready to be received into His outstretched arms and hear the glad message, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." His love for both his Father in Heaven and his Lord and Savior was deep and steady, lasting through a long life of service and devotion. He kept all his covenants with God in a way that will forever influence the lives of his descendants for good. Born Aug. 16, 1933, in Rupert, Minidoka, Idaho, Gaymore was the second child of nine born to Speed Henry Wall and Vera Luella Quarnstrom. He grew up in Rupert, attending schools there. He graduated from Rupert High School in 1951. Gaymore married Esther Noble in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on June 7, 1951. They were lifelong sweethearts and companions. Esther died in 2006 and Gaymore has anxiously looked forward to being together with her again. Gaymore and Esther moved to Utah soon after their marriage. They lived in Salt Lake City for many years, where they raised their family. Gaymore worked as a journeyman plumber until 1989, when he and Esther moved back to Idaho. They lived in the Paul area where Gaymore was employed on Mike Woodland's farm until 2000. At this time they bought a little home and moved back to Rupert, living in the same ward where they had both grown up. Gaymore fulfilled many callings in the church including serving as a bishop in the Cannon Sixth Ward in Salt Lake City. Whatever church calling he was given was considered as a sacred trust to be carried out with 100% of his effort. He had a unique talent for teaching the gospel, which was tied to his lifelong thirst to fully understand the scriptures. Gaymore and Esther served missions for the church in Australia, Virginia and at the Burley Family History Center. They also served in the Boise Temple. After Esther's death, Gaymore continued to work as a family consultant at the history library and served in the Twin Falls Temple on Tuesdays. Gaymore is survived by all of his nine children.
