Gilberto “Gilbert” Amaral

Alan and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Gilbert and share in your grief. Gilbert was an exemplary human being; exemplary in the courage he showed in fighting for every minute of his life over the last 14 years; exemplary in his craft and exemplary in the love and care he showed for his family. Over the years Gilbert provided his expertise and labor on many projects for my mother, stepfather and brother. Gilbert's skill and ability was perfection and he was always generous with his time to help extended family despite having a full plate at his own home. In the short, annual visits we were able to make to London, we always walked away with admiration, love and deep respect for the Amaral family. We will cherish our memories and are so happy the Lord gave Gilbert 14 years to make beautiful memories with his family. You are all in our hearts and prayers.

To All of Gilbert’s family we were saddened to see that he has passed. We met Gilbert several yeas ago through a cousin and Gilbert did do some house renovations and he became a good friend and was such a kind man. He was much too young to leave his family and friends. He will be missed by many. We are thinking of you. Our sincere condolences. Nancy and Joe Vandeloo

“I’ll call Gilbert” that’s something Mike often said as we navigated our many home renovations and improvements over the years. Mike and Gilbert worked many years with and around each other on jobs and were what I call, trades friends. Mike had great respect for Gilbert’s knowledge and skill and I always welcomed his friendly presence in our home. He always spoke very fondly and with pride of his family when we would chat. We witnessed his strength and positivity as he bravely fought this disease for many years and it is with true sadness that we learn today of his passing. We will miss him very much. Our sincerest condolences go out to you all, his most cherished family. May you find some comfort and strength in each other at this most difficult time.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Gilbert, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Rest in Peace my friend.

The Amaral Family Our deepest sympathies for your loss Frank&Leslie

Dear Linda and family, We had the pleasure of being cottage neighbours with Gilbert and Linda for 7 years. Gilbert was such a gentle soul. Gilberts health journey had ups and downs, but with Linda looking out for him… he was always positive and never complained. He put windows in our farmhouse and made it look much more presentable. We loved our conversations and Gilbert always had Sollutions. During covid…. We loaned Gilbert a kayak to see if he would like it. He loved it and started combing stores to buy some for the cottage. Supplies were depleted, but with persistence he did find one here and there. When telling him to borrow ours when the family was over…. he told me the sandbar was his limit and he did not know how to swim. This didn t stop Gilbert. He loved life. He certainly made this a better world and I know he will be missed by not only family and business acquaintances, but his friends too. RIP Gilbert
