On June 20, 2022 at the age of 61, Gilbert passed away peacefully at home with his nephew Reimos, niece Stefanie and loved ones by his side. Uncle G. was full of life! He was funny (ah duh) and had plenty of jokes. He loved to garden, sing in the mirror, was big on family, was a family man and loved & knew how to treat the ladies. He had a heart of gold, and that smile was life. He had the best smile. He loved to cook, even though he mixed it all together. To know him was to love him. Uncle G. was a wonderful man.
