He had earned Safety Man of the month and quarter several times which he was very proud of.
Gilbert was active in many sports & outdoor activities. He loved to golf with his brothers, ride his bicycle for hours and hike with his Mesa friends. His football team was Chicago Bears while his wife's team is the Green Bay Packers, which always made for an interesting day at their home when these 2 teams played. He also enjoyed watching the UFC/MMA fights with his brother Albert while they enjoyed their Peach Crown Royal. When he wasn't playing golf with his brothers he was spending time with his wife. If they weren't working they were spending time together.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Daughter Josephine and Brother Tony and his sister-in-law Tammy Lyman.
He is survived by his wife Becky of the family home in Casper, Brothers Ben (Julie) of Worland, Richard (Becky) of Texas, Ernie (Natalie) of Arizona and Albert of Casper, his sister Mary Ellen Villegas (Jesus) of Casper, and his Uncle Manual (Gloria) who was considered a brother by the whole family of Worland.

He will be deeply missed by his family, co-workers and many friends that he made in his lifetime simply because he would talk to anybody. He truly loved people.
