Uncle Gil I wasn't always around but whenever I was u always seemed very positive always making me feel at home whenever I seen you, so chill and down to earth and it's a bit rear that I see in most people. I remember coming by once and awhile for a family get together, and we would end up in the garage chilling playing pool  in the garage have a couple beers haha which are like my favorite beverage and u would just shows me and whoever was around how to shoot our shot playing pool. It always took me awhile to get comfortable with anybody but you always made me feel at home and that u had my back and for that I truly appreciate you and will always hold you in my heart and in my memory, it's so strange that I can't even believe you are gone like I always see you there if u were still at the house , love u uncle and I know I will see you again one day much love I know u will be with me
❤️

My brother Gilbert was my hero as we grew up. He was the male father figure in my young life although he was only a couple of years older he was very mature for his age. I remember getting chased home by bullies quite often and my dad would make me go back out to fight with Gilbert taking care of the big boys and me trying to hold my own and scared as hell!  He was so serious all the time I would do anything to make him laugh. I loved to see the big guy laugh. Made my day. I’ll always remember Gil was about 16 years old when I was riding my mini-bike In the neighborhood with Ernie on the back Gil was cruising a borrowed 1962 Impala and saw us and wanted to ride it so I reluctantly let him.before he got on I tried to give him a warning that it is very fast and easy to crash! He told me yeah,yeah I know how to handle it! He jumped on the throttle the front end jumped in the air when it came back down that mini bike took off with Papa  bear hanging on, his feet were dragging on the street the bike was shaking like crazy and he crashed into a parked car he got up off the ground All scraped up angry at me and the bike.  We later got a good laugh out of it. He would look at me funny when I first started calling him Papa bear. He didn’t understand why, thought I was trying to be funny. But, it was his role as our big brother that he earned that title of honor. My father was rarely around to raise us and that became Gilbert’s self assuming role. He was like a very young dad trying to teach and show us all the little important things we needed to survive in the neighborhood. Without him I really don’t know how our lives would have been. There are not enough words to describe the pain of your passing my brother. I only know that I have been blessed and, honored to have a big brother who showed so much love for his entire family. I will miss your wise words, I will certainly miss you my brother! I pray that you are in absolute peace in god’s hands! Your always in my heart bro!

Karen shared this picture of Gill, uncle Roy and my honey I love it! 

My condolences to the family. I pray that God give you all strength through this difficult time. My fondest memory is having the opportunity to have met you and Della for the very first time almost 40 years ago in South Gate, CA! You were great neighbors and even better friends.There were too many days spent visiting, laughing, and just eating good food. 
You were always so funny and loved to dance. Rest In Peace. 
I also had the pleasure of meeting your mother, Gloria she was a very sweet lady. May she R.I.P. 

Your Friend Always, 
Carmen Garcia 

Remembering how he was with Gilly and his home run hits....he was always proud of him. We went out for pizza and you & Gilly would sit in your own table talking just among yourselves.... I would say to myself what a wonderful Dad you where. I remember you as being such a calmed man & very loveable towards your family. 

Also,  Grandma Betty always bragged about your peach cobbler. How she would say "oooh its soooo delicious 😋," lol She loved it so much! We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Lifting you up in prayer Della,  Gil, Karen, Denise...love you Guys ❤ Mona 

My condolences to the family. Praying for wisdom, comfort and strength. May the Beautiful Memories live on forever. Rest in Paradise Gilbert! ((HUGS)) 

Gilbert your truly going to be missed I remember you always watching Sports on TV  With little gilly  by your side or on your lap.  I remember you taking me to my first dodger game , Explaining the game to me, I still have The bat they gave out that day, you took Sarah and I fishing and taught us how to put the worm on the hook, We had a good time. When I started dating he told me if anyone mistreated me to let him know. When I got married he told me I could call him if I needed help with any recipes, which I surely did. I’m going to miss those times calling for a recipe, until we meet again.  💕 love sockie

Dad, no words can describe how I feel knowing that your not coming back from the hospital. I prayed everyday for you and that we could have our talks again. I looked forward to you showing me how to cook some more of your famous dishes. I’ll always remember I was pitching little league  and the other team saw that I was a girl they started chanting some stuff and I remember I looked at you and you touched your chin and put your chin up (keep your head up) and then yelled “give them hell Mija” and struck out 2 boys and they were still talking mess and looked at you again and made a hand gesture to throw one in the dug out. So I did and got the loudest one right in the face. I don’t remember getting thrown out haha but I remember they weren’t talking mess again. 

Miss you dad! 

I love this story, which mom told me.  She said, when I was little you would ask me over & over to say your name....Gilbert & I would say, Bobo. And it stuck!!!🥰 

I feel so blessed to have spoken to you the day before you left this world. I will never forget telling you I loved you & you saying, I love you to sis.  I hear your words over & over in my head.

I know you’re dancing away with mom & Tata, cooking up your famous “Shit on a shingle” & enjoying grandma’s awesome beans. Give my baby boy a big hug for me.

Love & miss you💓


Hey family ,

     love you

There are so many memories with you Gil, when you were living in South gate and I went fishing with you. And I caught a seal we couldn't stop laughing.

I remember You singing "Glory of Love" when we were living in L.A upstairs next to Tia Dolores and I will just put my face on the back of the couch and hear you sing Love your voice, & playing the drums.

And when you caught me smoking at lucky Baldwin in the dugout, real calmly you said come on let's go, we walk home and you tell me come on so we go to the backyard and you kept on handing me
a cigarette one after another. Smoke it you want to smoke go ahead smoke it, the whole pack that you had till the pack was gone.  To this day I have never ever smoked another cigarette, through all of it Bobo you never raised your voice and he stayed calm through it all. I cried so hard ,😭 thank you Bobo. That was a good lesson learned that will last me a lifetime! You have always been that big strong brother of mine that I've always looked up to. Going to miss all your stories & your jokes hahahaha.  Another part of my ❤️ taken, but never ever forgotten. You're always with me that big strong angle looking over me please. Miss & Love you badly. Till I see you again Bobo
