Lebanon, NH – William James Gilbert, 83, passed away peacefully at home in Lebanon, NH on October 21st. He was surrounded by his family, his wife, Judith, and his son, Aaron. We are very grateful for the care given to Bill in his final weeks by Bayada Hospice: a kind and caring group of people.
William was born and raised in Hanover, NH, the only child of Elizabeth Jane Gilbert.
Bill graduated from Hanover High School in 1961 and attended Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. In 1964, he married Judith Offensend from Hartland, Vermont. They have one son, Aaron.
William and Judith had a 50-year career acquiring and restoring rental properties in downtown Lebanon.
William had a great love for animals on his small farm in Lebanon. Over the years, the farm was home to sheep, a burro, a goat, and numerous wild critters who would get snacks in the evenings.
William was also an avid pianist and composer throughout his life. We will miss his melodies drifting through the house.
At his request, there will be no services.
