Gilbert was a lumberman, building contractor and land developer. He met many individuals over the years, especially in the cottage communities, viewing them as his extended family. He enjoyed being around people. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gilbert spent many hours attending the Kingdom Hall, building a strong faith in God and sharing the hope of God’s promise of an earthly Paradise with ones he met. Seeing a Kingdom Hall in New Germany brought him a great deal of joy. Gilbert will be remembered by his family and friends as a hardworking family man, always on the go and willing to assist anyone in need.
