10.06.1957 – 21.09.2026
Much-loved Dad of Lauren, Chelsea and Thomas,
and former husband of Trish, whom he loved and continued to care for.
Funny, generous and wonderfully matter-of-fact.
A long-time employee of Grange Resources, a company he believed in deeply.
Gilbert never let the truth — or occasionally the law — get in the way of a good story.
He will be deeply missed, and there will be plenty of stories to remember him by.
Gilbert’s family and friends are warmly invited to a Service to celebrate and share stories of his life, which is to be held in the Hall of Fame, Circular Head Recreation Centre, Nelson St, Smithton, on FRIDAY, September 25, 2026, commencing at 1pm. Private cremation will take place at Parkside Gardens Crematorium. We invite you to view the service via live stream, please follow the link below
