Obituary for Shannon Walter Gilbert

Shannon Walter Gilbert, 76, of Boothbay, passed away on November 7, 2016.
He was the son of Velma Haley and Walter Gilbert of South Bristol. His career was related to the sea, first as a lobsterman, and then as a crewman and Captain of Commercial Fishing Vessels. He was also a boiler engineer for several years at FMC in Rockland. He served in the Navy for a brief period during the 1950’s.

Shannon had many talents, all of them done with zest and excellence; hunting, woodworking, storytelling, creative design, and most of all, his gardening skill. He turned his produce into fabulous meals for family and friends, and then sent them home with a basket of food.

His is survived by his wife of 45 years, Dawn Sherman, a son Charles and Granddaughter Eva.
Brothers Rowland and Dexter, Sisters June Lovell, Jackie Progue, and Valerie Fossett. Grandsons Edison and Jamie Young, a special niece Andrea Fossett Gray, and many other family members.
