In Memoriam – Dick Gilbert

It is with profound sadness that we report the passing of our dear friend, Dick Gilbert.  Dick suffered a massive and fatal heart attack on January 6th.  There will be a small, family-only religious service soon and an open memorial service for friends and extended family sometime this spring.

Nothing but Gold at this past year’s Senior Games; Dick was 86. His infectious smile and devout love of our game will be missed. He’s probably on Court 1 now and he’ll always be on ours. Our condolences to his wife Juanita.
