Ronald Gilbert Obituary

Ronald "Ronnie" Gilbert, of Englewood, Florida passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home on October 11, 2020 after a short battle with lung cancer. Born on August 16, 1953 in Plymouth, Massachusetts where he resided until moving to Florida 17 years ago, Ronnie was a town staple riding his Harley Davidson Sportster and hanging out with friends at local establishments. Ronnie always had a smile on his face under his scruffy mustache, and had a fabulous sense of humor and a warm heart. He was a skilled electrician all his working life. Ronnie is preceded in death by his mother Joan. Surviving family members include his wife Regina (Gina), his father Robert (Bob) and step-mother Barbara, his step-father James (Jim), his sister Kathleen (Kathy), daughters Kerri and Michelle, his son Robert (Bobby), two step-children Les and Donna, and his grandchildren Tyler, Cameron, Nickolas, Julia and Abigail. Services were held in Florida where he was laid to rest.
