Pour honorer sa mémoire, il laisse dans le deuil son épouse Shirley, sa fille Jacqueline, son fils Richard, ses frères Rhéal (Carmen) et Aurèle (Liane), son neveu Robert et sa nièce Kristine, de même que plusieurs parents et amis très chers. Gilbert a eu une longue carrière enrichissante à Radio-Canada/CBC et a travaillé à Montréal, Ottawa et Winnipeg. Il avait un merveilleux sens de l'humour, aimait aller à la pêche à Minaki et adorait discuter de politique avec ses frères. Son plus grand bonheur était de passer du temps avec son épouse et ses enfants. La famille aimerait remercier du fond du coeur le personnel de l'unité de dialyse de l'Hôpital St-Boniface pour leurs soins attentionnés et leur compassion. Selon les voeux de Gilbert, un service commémoratif privé sera célébré par Monseigneur Maurice Comeault, pour la famille immédiate.
