We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
To the family of Larry Gilbert.
(Wop) was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
He didn’t deserve the way he past.
I didn’t get a chance to see him since I returned to Iowa from Texas but I spoke with him on the phone.
As always,
In good spirits and had a kind word for everyone.
He will be missed and thought of on a regular basis.
(Sala,Allah,aleh,wasalam)
Wapp was like a brother to me. He made me laugh. Him and Foo would stay at my house. I just found out that he passed away. Rip in piece my friend.
