Maurice R. Gault (Maury), 74, of Granby, Connecticut, passed away on Monday, May 19, 2025. Beloved husband of Diana E. (Lucas) Gault for 46 years. Maurice was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on February 20, 1951, son of the late John W. Gault and Eileen (Johnston) Gault. Maurice is survived by daughter, Colleen M. Gault; son, John E. Gault, and two grandchildren, Seren and Leonora; two brothers, Wesley and Don Gault, and predeceased by his brother, Colin Gault. He will be missed by a large extended family who resides in Australia.
Maurice left Northern Ireland in his teen years, immigrating with his family to Melbourne, Australia. His skill in Science and Mathematics, earned Maurice a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Physics from Latrobe University Melbourne, Australia. While working in Melbourne’s Dept of Weights and Measures, he met his wife Diana and a few years later, was drawn to begin a new life in Connecticut where his family and a career in Information Systems/ Data Management began.
Maurice was a skilled, intelligent, wise, kind man who was always quick with the Dad jokes. Strong with athletic stamina to outlast any, he loved to hike or cycle across multiple state lines and cross-country ski for miles. From flying hang-gliders to gliders soaring high in the best of fashion, he was fearless and earnest and always the first to jump at giving a helping hand. Maurice is remembered with his face lit up by the light of a campfire, folksongs playing in the background, eager to share a glass of Scotch underneath the canopy of stars.
