Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGILBERT HEBERT Suddenly and unexpectedly in Saint-Pierre, Manitoba on November 11, 2015. Gilbert was born on September 12, 1939. Predeceased by his parents, Henri and Odila (née Lacroix), two sisters, Cora and Raymonde, and three brothers Paul, Bernard and Benoît. He leaves to mourn in his passing his three remaining siblings, Léo of St. Pierre, Lorraine of St. Joseph, Cécile of Ottawa. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Marie-Ange of Mesa, Arizona and by his good friend Fred Workman of Toronto, as well by his many nieces and nephews. After completing his studies in Accounting, Gilbert left Manitoba to find work at the Sudbury General Hospital. He later moved to Toronto, spending much of his career with Trans-Northern Pipeline where he stayed until his retirement. He developed a passion for his new "hometown" of Toronto, which he loved to share with all visitors. Even beyond retirement, Gil remained active and gave back to his community, whether it be helping his neighbours or working as a volunteer at the Princess Margaret Hospital. A mass will be celebrated in his memory at the St. Pierre Roman Catholic Church on December 2, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. A reception will follow. Interment will take place at a later date at the Community Cemetery in the village of St-Pierre. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation: @ http://www.thepmcf.ca/Home, or by calling 1-866-224-6560.

I was so sad to hear of Gil's unexpected passing. He was a wonderful guy-extremely thoughtful of others, helpful and concerned. All of my family members will miss him tremendously. We had many wonderful dinners at Gil and Fred's home. The loss for Fred especially must be awful; he will be missed by so many of us though. - Posted by: Nyla Branscombe (Friend) on: Dec 08, 2015

I miss you so so much you meant the world to me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. I never did get to say goodbye to you my friend it hurts me so... I love you deeply. Bye my love. You would wake up tip toe to the kitchen at 4:30 am to get ready to volunteer at the Princess Margaret Hospital Monday Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. I would sometimes hear you but, I would roll over and fall back fast asleep till my alarm would wake me. You had you funny ways about you sometimes you would joke about stuff and I admired this about you and sometimes you would just outright laugh about it. Even though I knew you were in such pain at times. I completely understood how you must have felt. Especially the time you took very sick to the radiation treatments and the hell you went through I was there to comfort you. I will miss you dearly all my love and kisses to you my dear friend. - Posted by: Fred Workman (Spouse) on: Dec 08, 2015

Gil will be lovingly remembered by both staff and patients at the PMH Blood Lab.He was one of a kind Always the first to arrive in the morning to set up even the paper clips were in line. He enjoyed joking with the patients. If they didn't get the joke then he would laugh at his own joke. Talk about getting the last laugh. That was Gil. He will be missed by us all - Posted by: patsy raymond (Co Worker Princess Margaret Blood Collection Lab) on: Dec 02, 2015

I would like to extend my condolences to the Hebert family. Gil was a great friend of mine. Fred, Gil and I spent countless weekends, mini-vacations, Christmases and Thanksgivings together. It was a terrible shock to hear of his passing and I was so fortunate to have spent time with him until as recently as this past Thanksgiving. Gil had a good heart. He was a good man. I shall miss him dearly. - Posted by: Lynne Steenkamp (Friend) on: Nov 30, 2015
