Gilbert was a self-employed craftsman, with a career spanning decades. He could always be counted on to help his loved ones with a helping hand. He was mechanically gifted and was a "gearhead." Gil loved to entertain and was an accomplished guitarist. Many weekends you could find him playing for his family and friends.

Gilbert led his life to the beat of his own music. During his career, Gil employed numerous workers as business required. He was generous with his time and would spend a large part of it helping those who were experiencing hardships. He provided shelter and financial assistance to many who were in desperate need.

May your memories of Gilbert be fond. His departure was too soon. He has passed into the glory of his savior, Jesus Christ. His pain is lifted from his body and replaced with peace of the spirit. He will be deeply missed. A celebration of Gilbert’s life will be at a later date.
