I met Paul during summer of 1973 when I came as a graduated engineer in chemistry from Germany to Eastman Kodak Company for getting experience in a modern research lab. I was there as a trainee for three months.
Paul guided me along, helped me get an accomodation during my stay and lent me a bycicle so I could explore the surroundings of Rochester.
I remember him as a mild tempered (opposite to my more wild temper) man; not as a boss, but more like a caring father. The time with him at Eastman Kodak Company helped me a lot with my career. I still are very thankful for his way of handling me as a young wild man trying to find his place in the world.

Mary i was very sad to hear of Paul’s passing. I’ve always considered him a very special friend. Not just a relative. He will be missed by all.
Best wishes, Cal Conrod

At the end of the last year, I had the very sad news, the death of my friend Dr. Paul B. Gilman. I heartily sorrow over his death. I remember many pleasant memories with him and his wife Mary on many occasions. He was always very kind for me and my wife Aoi, and gave me many important opportunities for my scientific activity.
After I had studied photographic science in Prof. S. Kikuchi’s laboratory in University of Tokyo, I entered into Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. in 1968, and was involved in fundamental research on photographic films and papers since then. Since Paul and I had been investigating the same subject (i.e., spectral sensitization), we met many times at scientific meetings. It was really substantial and fruitful for me to see him for the exchange of information and opinions with vivid discussions.
He achieved many important results in spectral sensitization including the clarification of the mechanism of super-sensitization and proposal of the model of sub-conduction band events for latent image formation in photographic films and papers. He proceeded those investigations with his own style by applying a series of dyes, whose electronic structures were characterized by electrochemical reduction and oxidation potentials, to their photographic performances with wedge spectrograms. In addition, he was enthusiastic to extend his results to such a new area as the development of anticancer drugs by applying the series of dyes to it. I am now trying to extending the results of photographic science to new areas such as nuclear plates for dark matter detection and perovskite solar cells, realizing that his results including supersensitization and sub-conduction band event are also valuable in such new areas.
The most important meetings for us were the International East-West Symposia, which were successfully held nearly every four years from 1984 to 2004. These symposia could play a most important role for the progress of photographic science, contributing to photographic industry during its most highlighted period of time. Paul proposed to initiate the symposium, and organized it with him and myself as the leaders of its western and eastern sides. The first one was most impressive since Paul, Mary, Aoi, and myself were deeply involved in its organization. These symposia could also brew and enhance friendships among attendants regardless of their organizations.
Many international meetings including the East-West symposia form an international community with many photographic scientists and engineers. He was very friendly and liked by everyone of the community. He took many pictures of his friends including myself. He was so kind to prepare albums and to present them to me as memories of our meetings. I still keep those albums, which help me to remind our pleasant memories.
I pray his soul may rest in pease.

I did not know Paul well, but would say the few interactions I had with him at the Eastman Kodak research labs left an impression. Brilliant, no ego despite his brilliance, and extremely kind.

When we were growing up, we listened to our parents. There were life lessons we desperately needed to properly navigate the 60s, 70 and 80s. By the 90s we had the world dialed in. But I remember a few sayings: ” If you’re going to do a job, do it right. “ “Everything in moderation” Don’t be a knob twister”
My father never drank alcohol. He said he had watched his friends at school get sick from it. We kids did not follow that example. But we did drink in moderation. My most vivid memory of time spent with Dad was playing catch. After supper, we would go to the front yard, assume our distance and we would throw the baseball, gently at first as I wasn’t allowed to bring the heat until my arm warmed up. After a sufficient war-up, Dad would get in a catcher’s stance and I would throw fastball after fastball with as much accuracy as possible . All the time getting a lesson on stance, wind-up, how to hold the ball, how to throw a curve. We spent hours perfecting my pitching technique and I had successful career as a little league pitcher. My life lesson here was that you could do anything you set you mind to especially if you practiced.
Dad went to every sporting event he could. If he wasn’t holding a camera, he was holding the roster for the batting line up while coaching baseball. But a camera was the tool of choice. We are the most documented family in history and we have the office full of images and movies to prove it. Dad was performing two main tasks: one to record our family events, and two to test out film. Kodak had a generous policy to the research lab that you could sign out film and take it home. We had a separate refrigerator at home where Dad would store the film bricks of it at a time.
Dad was not a big talker but when the conversation drifted to spectral sensitization of silver halide, film or cameras, watch out. In his retirement, he could not keep the scientist at bay and frequented Kodak to the digital photography engineers and work out problems they didn’t have time for. He worked with a digitization frame by frame of the Zapruder film on the assassination. He gave out dyes to look for anti-cancer properties and found one that worked in vitro.
Dad is not gone. His DNA is ever present in all of us kids as we question and discover life as he did. We became athletes, artists, photographers, optical engineer and hard working Gilman’s taking our life lessons and putting them to purpose.
In the end, my father’s brilliant mind was trapped in a system shutting down. He pumped my hand in recognition of me being bedside last week as I said good bye to my teacher of life-lessons, my baseball coach, inquisitive researcher and loving father.
