Edward Gilbertson

I so enjoyed the time I spent working on a glass window in Eddy's studio. I admired and was inspired by his artistry. His smile and generosity and wonderful family will always be in my heart. Don Ellis

I took stain glass lesson at Ed's studio many years ago. He was a great person and so was his son. ,I watched His studio grow into a great place. I had many happy times there. I'm sure He will be missed by all that knew him. Mary Brusa Delavan

I knew Ed (Gil) since he came to Lake Geneva. He was an accomplished artist and a very intersting person to talk to. I always enjoyed the time I spent with him because he was a warm and gentle person, also very humerous at times. He had a twinkle in his eye that was very disarming. I have missed seeing him for several years and I will always think very fondly of him. God bless Ed Gilbertson.

I met “Eddie” during the 1950’s when I was a little kid living with his parents in Stoughton. He and Evelyn created quite a stir tootling around in a red VW bug they had driven from Dobbs Ferry, New York. They were the first people who gave me ideas about the big wide world out there. One time I cut my finger playing outside and when I came wailing into the house he calmed me down, patched me up me and helped me be brave about the whole thing. That’s when I first learned about his years of service. Farewell, Eddie.
