Loved him so much. When my granddad died, Dad and I took Gilbert on as our own.

The shuffled walk...the obscene picture of Santa...the beautiful wife...and of course, Prince. Gilbert truly had life figured out.

I am very sorry to here of your Dad's passing. I worked with him for several years at Houston General, we sat beside each other. He was a terrific person, taught me a lot and kept me laughing for over 15 years. He had a sense of humor that no one else could match. After 30 years I still remember his jokes and stories even today.

He spoke of his girls and of Betty everyday, he was very proud of both of you. I met your Mother over the course of working with your Dad and they were a "perfect match". Cutest couple you would ever want to meet.

Please accept my sincerest sympathy for your loss.
