Not sure what to say?

I have known Ralph for over ten years and I don't believe I have ever met a friendlier or more cordial person in all my life. My deepest sympathies to the Gilbert family, Ralph will truly be missed.

We were richer knowing Ralph and poorer with his passing. Sincerest condolences to those who loved and cared about Ralph.

When I first meet Ralph six years ago I was impressed by his intelligence and honesty. He was a man of his word and always had a smile on his face. When he spoke people listened as Ralph spoke with wisdom and from his heart. My sympathy to his family, but they should know that many people will carry thy memory of this great man with them.

Susan and family,
Ralph was a gentleman and a wonderful friend. We will enjoy the memories and always keep him in our hearts. With sympathy,

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ralph's family. He was a good and kind man, a classy guy. Our shared love of aviation was always a topic when we saw each other. Every family could benefit by having a Ralph Gilbert in their midst.

It was through my 5 year employment at Metro for Chief Executive Officer Mike Burton that I met Ralph Gilbert and had the pleasure and privilege of working with him occasionally. I consider it an honor to have known him that little bit; he was such a fine person. I am sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Ralph's family.
Ralph was a supporter and friend. He was above all a gentleman of the old order and one could never ask for a more honest and giving person. He will be missed.

former Exec Metro 1995-2003
