Gilbert, often called “Gil” or “Gib” was a union carpenter and spent most of his years constructing residential dwellings and commercial buildings. When Gil was not listening to country music, dancing the night away, he enjoyed puttering around the house and bird watching. His family, especially grandchildren, enjoyed receiving his thoughtful hand written letters, covered with carefully chosen stickers. He loved updating every one of his activities and, of course, the local weather.

He will be sadly missed by his four sons, William “Bill” (Kristine) Schmocker of New Jersey, Scott (Beth) Schmocker of Ohio, Andrew (Kathy) Schmocker of Green Bay, Mike (Angie) Schmocker of Brookfield, his nine grandchildren and one great grandchild.
