Gilbert was a childhood friend of mine, since I was 8 or 9 years of age, through 1965. As a child, we were next door neighbors on Chavez Street in Las Vegas. I spent my early childhood living there, in Las Vegas. I joined the Navy and he, the Marines. He served aboard the USS Midway (aircraft carrier), now on permanent disply in San Diego as a museum ship. I was a crew member on the USS Chicago, a Heavy Guided Missle Cruiser. We served in the same fleet. Then one day, the USS Chicago...

My condolences to Gilbert's family. I had been meaning to stop by his business when in Las Vegas but unfortunately never did. The last time I saw Gilbert was when we were in high school. I understand he later served his country as a Marine. Thank you Gilbert for your service. Semper Fi, God Bless you and your family.
