E.J. Gilbert Jr. was born on October 13, 1924 in Mexia, Texas to E.J. Gilbert and Minnie N. Hill. He passed away on January 10, 2019 at the age of 94. A graduate of Crooked Oak High School, E.J. served honorably in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1943-1946.

E.J. attained a BS in Business from Oklahoma City University in 1958, and worked as a logistics specialist at Tinker Air Force Base until he retired in 1974. An avid fisher and bowler, E.J. found new friends easily whether he was casting on the lake or throwing strikes down the lane.
