Gilbert was predeceased by his son Michael. Gilbert began his life as the youngest son of John Leo and Mary May Pulvermacher with brothers Norbert, Roman, Raymond and Wilford, and sisters Lucille, Marie and Claudia (all predeceased) in Bruno, Saskatchewan.  He married on June 3, 1957 and raised 4 children while owning and operating a successful business in the Graphic Arts Industry. The family home was in Calgary, Alberta until his move to Strathmore a year prior to his passing. Gilbert was a hard-working businessman whose sole focus was on his wife and family. When time allowed, he enjoyed camping and any other outdoor activities that he could do with his family.
