Dear Joel, Blanche & Family: We are heartbroken to learn of Gilbert's passing away so suddenly. During our young years, living across the street from each other & being cousins, we were best friends. Gilby was also a patient until I retired. Fortunately for Gilby, he had the pleasure of being an integral part of all your lives & took great pleasure in you, your children & grandchildren. To Blanche & Joel, you performed a great mitzvah by including both Gilby & Luby in all your family functions & hope that we can only celebrate simchas in the future. May he rest in peace.

Maida and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Gilbey. I will miss our discussions and usually differences on sports that we both had in common. But the most important matters in his life were about his family. Forever smiling and always interested in how we were, and how we were doing. Rest in Peace Gilbey!

You don’t know me. But your brother Gilby and my late husband David Smith were dear and best friends. I was so saddened to read the news of his death. Gilby was at our house many times and I always enjoyed his company. The boys would watch football together and spend hours talking to each other whether in person or over the phone. My condolences to all of you and to his nieces who he loved dearly I know that for sure. Fondly Lynn Smith

I am deeply sorry to hear of Gilbert's passing. I new Gilbert in our capacity as members of the board of the Metropolitan Toronto Pharmacists Association. Gilbert was not feeling well for a long time but only relinquished his role as treasurer several days before his death. His commitment to the board was limitless and he will be missed by the many pharmacists he knew.

My sincere condolences to the Panet family. I met Gilbert in 1977 when I joined him at Fullerton Drug Store as a new graduate pharmacist. He taught me many aspects of retail pharmacy as well as many life lessons. He was smart, kind, very funny and had a heart of gold. We visited every time he travelled to Cornwall. I will miss him dearly.

Extending my sympathies to Gilbert's family. I worked with Gilbert when I was a high school student and pharmacy student at Fullerton's in Cornwall, and also part time at his pharmacy on Bathurst St when i was in pharmacy school. I kept tabs on him through my sister and saw him again a few years ago when he visited Cornwall. He was a unique person who enjoyed having fun and clearly loved his family. It is a great loss.
