Gilbert served in the United States Army Reserve and made a career in the Real Estate industry as both a Broker and Appraiser. He devoted his entire life to his loving family, especially his wife who he adored (AKA Flossie). His favorite pastime was to watch Nascar racing, the Bruins and Red Sox in his garage with his buddies. He belonged to many card leagues, had a love for music, especially his guitar, and was always up for a game of cribbage with his daughters and grandson. He will be remembered lovingly by all whose lives he has touched over the past 74 years.
Besides his loving wife, he leaves a son, Patrick Roy and his wife, Shirley, of Seekonk; two daughters, Kim Ripley and her husband, Dan, of Pawtucket and Sherri Mercurio and her husband, Ron, of Pawtucket; four grandchildren, Jake Roy and his honorary, Nicole Kenneally, Taylor Roy, Dante Ripley and Nicholas Mercurio; his beloved mother-in-law, Doris Houston of Coventry; siblings-in-law, Dennis, Karen, Elaine, Nancy, Gary and Chuck; his loving neighbors/extended family, the Bejma Family; Paul, Maria, Alexis and Mercedes. Gil also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Gil, you made a friend wherever you went. Always quick to make us laugh and always had a story to tell. You could talk about your favorite teams for hours and your enthusiasm was contagious. No one could have loved my cousin Carol more or made her happier. Your family and your many friends will miss you dearly. God speed, you lived life well and now its time to rest. Much love, Sue and Shorty
