Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGILBERT PRESCOTT It is with a profound sense of loss that the family of Gilbert Prescott announces the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved husband and father on Monday, February 25, 2013 at St. Boniface Hospital. Gilbert will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife Pearl and his four children, Jonathan, Christopher, Jordan and Lindsay (Aaron Mann). Dad was overjoyed by the recent arrival of his first and precious grandchild, Emily, who immediately and adoringly became the apple of his eye. Gilbert laisse également dans le deuil ses frères et soeurs: le père Roland m.d'afr., Rita (René Wilcott), Irène s.g.m., Marguerite, s.g.m, l'abbé Henri, Alma, Louis, Françoise, Lucie (feu Robert Allard), Hélène (Guy Mousseau), Georges (Jeannine Ruest) et Pauline; son beau-frère George Bazay (Gerri) et sa belle-soeur Jean Ronnmark (Mark). Outre ses frères et soeurs, Gilbert laisse dans le deuil plusieurs neveux, nièces et amis. De plus, il sera tristement regretté par son grand ami de longue date, Ron Hannon. Gilbert est né à Saint-Boniface le 23 novembre 1950. Il a fréquenté l'Ecole Provencher et a été diplômé du Collège Louis-Riel. Dans ses dernières années, Gilbert a travaillé comme concierge à l'Ecole Taché et a toujours gardé sur sa personne une généreuse quantité de bonbons qu'il distribuait avec grand plaisir aux élèves. On se souviendra toujours de Gilbert pour sa nature généreuse, son amour de la vie et son sens de l'humour. The funeral mass will be held at the St. Boniface Cathedral on Saturday, March 2 at 10:00 a.m. Viewing will take place at 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Interment to follow at the St. Boniface Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gilbert's memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Gilbert as we sat on the CUPE 3754 executive board for many years. Gilbert was passioned by listening, supporting and defending all employees. His sense of humour, his president expertise and his devotion to all will be missed. May you rejoice with your saviour Gilbert. To Pearl and family members, may you be comforted by knowning you do not walk alone. It was a blessing to have known Gilbert. - Posted by: Lucette Sabourin () on: Mar 03, 2013

We ran into Gil at Tim Hortons ( of course!) at the beginning of January and had a wonderful talk with him. He was so proud of his family, and spoke so lovingly of his little granddaughter Emily! We are so glad we had this little time with him, and our hearts go out to Lindsay and family. I know his spirit will live on in his children.

To my dear old pal Gilbert. Thank you for all the good times we shared. These life long memories are with me always, many which make me chuckle and some laugh outloud. Even though there were miles between us in distance, you were and will continue to always be close to my heart. Safe journey my friend. Until we see each other again... Stay out of trouble!

I loved Gil like an older brother. I babysat the boys for a couple of years when I was a teenager. Gil had so much respect for kids. I always felt like I mattered, like I had something to say. Gil always spoke to me like I had a good head on my shoulders. I felt so welcome in his and Pearl's home. I remember when he let play his reel-to-reel one Saturday evening while babysitting. He had shown me how to use it. I was so excited! He had the best collection of rock music on his reel-to-reel. Thanks for the great memories. Thanks for making me feel like I was an important person at a very vulnerable time. All my love to Pearl and the kids. - Posted by: Louise Dandeneau (Babysitter) on: Mar 01, 2013
