Mr. Gillham, whose wife died eight months ago, took his life in Newton on May 12. He was 59 and had moved to Newtonville about two years ago so his wife could be closer to medical care. The Gillhams previously lived in Richmond and Cambridge. "He would go into a city like Norwalk, Conn., or New Bedford that was kind of not in great shape," said Candy Gander, a friend who ran the firm Gillham & Gander with Mr. Gillham for 10 years.
