Gilbert was born on February 21, 1930 in Jacksonsville, Florida to Gilbert L. and Elizabeth Scott. He was drafted to the Army where he served as a radio operator in the Korean War until 1954. He graduated from Depauw University in 1952 with a degree in Economics. He married Donna Van Dyke on February 21, 1962 after meeting at work and discovering a mutual love for swing dancing. Gilbert’s quiet nature and intelligence made him a natural for engineering work. He began working for RCA in 1952 as a Quality Control Engineer.

In 1998, Gilbert left RCA to work at Roche Diagnostics as a Reliability and Validation Engineer until his retirement in 2003.
