In 1925, Gilbert went out on his own, traveling and working his way around the western United States. Gilbert married Viola Falck from Albert City in 1932. They called this home for the nearly 66 years of their marriage. He worked for the elevator, had a trucking business, and for many years worked for Turndraylic in Laurens. Gilbert lived the out of doors: hunting, fishing, gardening - and sharing what he had with others. When the Albert City whistle would blow at 7 a.m., Gilbert could be found at the Albeit City coffee table. He would be telling a story or a joke and catching up on the latest news, sporting a favorite cap from his "cap collection" with names from around the world. For the past 1 1/2 years, he resided at Pleasant View Home in Albert City. Gilbert and Viola raised two children, Dee and Ken. They were always available and willing to offer rides or help out friends whenever there was a need. Preceding Gilbert in death were his parents, his stepmother, a step sister, a half brother and a stillborn son, Ronald.
