Aunt Linda and Family, I know that we have not seen each other as much as in the past, but you all have always been on my mind. Uncle Carl was an inspiration to me, if only I could be half the person he was I know I would be alright. Some of my fondest memories of Carl were the summers we spent on the road traveling to the fairgrounds to show Bonnie and Claude and then there was always the days we would come over to help with the hay/straw. Man I miss those first couple years that we moved up here and I have missed you all. Uncle Carl, You will be missed by everyone you touched throughout your life, the joy you brought to everyone around you and the happiness that you spread will continue to spread. We Love You and will miss you. Rest in Peace my Uncle and friend. Bill and Jane Lethig

Mr Gilbert was always so kind to me. He was such an encourager and interested in the latest adventure. I always loved to hear his insights about mechanical things, whether using heavy equipment or small engines, he had a wealth of experience. The way he treated me made me feel better about myself and gave me confidence.
He was a strong family man with a huge heart. He was also great Lions fan, that just shows his intense resolve.
