Mr. Gilbert was like a second father to me. I met him when I was five years old, when I met my friend Dan. He taught me many valuable things. When I got into trouble he would come by my parents house to talk sense into me. He was the only one who ever did that, I will never forget him. Hopefully I will see him again someday.
