Coming home from the war, he returned to farming for the rest of his life. In spring 1954, he bought his first new tractor, a Farmall Super MTA, from the IH dealer in Campbell. He also fell in love with the love of his life, Myra May Woods, a school teacher, and the two married on March 16, 1946. Gilbert enjoyed going on short road trips into Kansas to see friends he had known through the years. Survivors include his sons, Dave Nelson of Minden and Gregg Nelson of Woodlands, Texas; two grandchildren, Bradley Nelson of Centennial, Colo., and Lezlie Allen and her husband, Lance, of Littleton, Colo.; great-grandchildren, Jake and Ross Garrett; and stepgreat-grandchildren, Bentley and Brodie Allen.
