I also was in High School Band with Gilbert and remember him most for his wonderful talent. He was a very talented musician. I also remember how great a person he was. Always laughing. We had some great time, espacilly on the out of town trips. He was always there to help anyone that needed it. I remember Mr. Smith telling him that he was going to be GREAT someday. I wish that we had not lost contact, but that is how life is. My Prayers go out to all his family.

TO PETRA, GILBERT, JOE, MICHAEL, BRANDON & CORY:

I imagine there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a son, a brother, and a father.

My words are not adequate to express the sorrow I feel for your loss. Gil was an inspiration to everyone no matter if it was at work, home, out in public or even his music. Many people have been blessed to have been graced by Gil's big heart, talents & his inviting personality.

Every bit of my heart goes out to you during this most difficult time.

Gilbert and I were friends from the 4th grade through high school graduation. He was always such a talented musician and a really nice person. David, my husband, and I thought so much of Gilbert that we asked him to be a groomsman in our wedding. I regret so much that we lost touch over the years. We both send our heartfelt condolences to the family. Gilbert was blessed to have such a wonderful family.
God Bless You,
David and Christine Wolfe

Nora, there are no words that I can express at this time that could truely tell you how I feel. I was just so shocked to hear of Gil's passing. Please know how special you and Gil were to me and my precious David. You will always have a special place in my heart. David always enjoyed when we went over and he spent time with you and Gil. Whatever you need, whenever, please call me. Love ya, Veronica
