It is with great sadness that the family of Gilbert Earl Plazola announce his passing on Tuesday, October 10, 2017, at the age of 81 years.

I had the privilege of only meeting once at the airport when we were sending our sons off to Mt Hood. The quality of man Gilbert was is reflected in the quality of the children he raised. I speak specifically of Nick who I am privileged to know through my son. My thoughts and prayers are with the Plazola Family.
