Gilbert truly was a good 'ol country boy at heart, and it showed in everything he did. Gilbert enjoyed working with horses and sharing his knowledge with the younger generations.
In fact, on the back of a horse's how he met his true love Kathy. His love for animals carried over into his everyday life. You never saw him without his beloved dogs Maggie May and Meadow by his side. He could always be found outside, whether it was on the banks of a river with a pole in hand going after the next big catch, or in the woods in search of a big buck.
Gilbert's favorite times were spent playing with the grand babies, and spending time with family and friends, especially if there was a good meal involved!
Gilbert's death was very unexpected and he will dearly be missed by many.
