So sorry to hear of Gilbert's passing. I just found out from a church bulletin. Gilbert helped me out with transportation as a Knight and was always very friendy. I have been in Omaha for over a year with medical problems. I lost my own husband Dick in November last year. I am now back in Fremont for good living at Stanton Towers. Gilbert will be missed.
