Gil,
Way back when, I saw you get your hole-in-one at Elk Horn and it was awesome..of course it messed all of us up for the rest of the tournament, but we had fun. It was always fun with you and your infectious smile and good attitude. You will be sorely missed.

To Mary and Family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I was a coworker of Gilberts and a friend. I had the good fortune of getting to know Gilbert while going camping and ATV riding with him a number of years ago. Gilbert was always a great guy to have in the camp. He was an easy going person who was quick with a smile or to offer help if needed. I will miss not seeing the smile on his face as I wave to him from my car on the way in or out of the company parking lot. I will think of him often and feel very fortunate to have known him.

Gilbert was an awesome man, I feel blessed to have known him . He always made me laugh, and was happiest when he was telling me stories of his family. He helped me to learn what unconditional love meant and for that I will always be grateful.

Sorry for your loss,
Love you All
Sally,
