Gilbert (Lex Luther) as he sometimes called himself, possessed a phenomenal personality with untouchable characteristics. Saying we miss him is an understatement but how else can we express his absence. 1LOVE to G-MAN

My sincere condolences to the Ashby family. Cherish the precious memories of your loved one and keep them close to your heart. He was always cool, confident and carried himself in a suave manner. We he entered a room his presence was known with the bright vibrant smile. My prayers are with you and know that God will comfort you during this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to the family, love ones and friends. It was a pleasure and honor knowing Gilbert and being in his presence. We thank God for his service as a United States Marine and a Vietnam veteran. Semper Fi. Rest well my fellow brother and Marine.
