Gilbert Irving Bott

August 17, 1925 — October 3, 2022

Warren, Michigan

Gilbert I. Bott, age 97, passed away peacefully at home on October 3, 2022.

Gilbert was the beloved husband of Bernice Bott for the last 71 years; loving father of Dennis (Lori Blumenstein-Bott) Bott, Janis (Frank) Caliguri, Larry (Jody Pear) Bott, David (Lauri) Bott, Steve (Traci) Bott, and Mike Bott; devoted grandfather of Ellie (Jim), Kyle (Kristina), Justin (Jill), Stacie (Patrick), Michael, Ryan, Jacob, Colin, Claire, Emily, Connor, Kevin (Chelsea), and Carolyn (Michael); proud great-grandfather of Olivia, Anne, Oliver, Owen, Camden, Shelby, Olivia, and Evelyn. He is survived by his sister, Winifred Perry, and sister-in-law, Carol Bott. Gilbert was predeceased by his siblings, Adelaide (Bill) Weiland, Harriet (Homer) Pharis, and Everett Bott, and brother-in-law, Dick Perry.

Gilbert was proud to have served his country; he was in the United States Army and a veteran of World War II. He was witness to the many realities of war, having been a part of the Normandy Invasion during that conflict. He was always very humble about the accomplishments during that time and beyond. A side effect of having a proper perspective on life. Above all, Gilbert was a family man. What he was most proud of in life was how he loved, cared for, and being there for his wife, children, and grandchildren.
