My condolences to the Link family on the passing of Gilbert. Even though I grew up right next door to the Links, I never knew about Gilbert. Nonetheless it sounds like he lived a productive life.

Hey Bro,

My deepest sympathies and condolences to your family and loved ones.

We sure had an abundance of great times together. The memories of the experiences we shared will remain with me forever.

More than a best friend, you were a brother and will be missed more than you can imagine.

I know you are at peace now and that brings me great comfort.

Rest easy my brother until we meet again.
