Brian Gilbert was a valued employee of Lipkin’s Furniture Srore in Coatesville for over 35 years. He was promoted from driver to warehouse manager because of his attention to detail, his leadership ability and his unique way of relating to management and customers alike. His good humor and loyalty were especially valued during the time of declining of one of the owners. He was very much appreciated.

Childhood Memories
I was so sorry to hear that Brian passed away, and was immediately taken back to the days of the Illes-Gilbert-Spotts get togethers. i remember the days and the people with great fondness, and it makes me smile when I recall the three Gilbert brothers, the nicknames you had, and the fun we all shared. Our parents were all great friends, and our generation was naturally drawn into the friendships. Those memories are dear to me, as are the people who shared them, and I'm so very sorry for your loss.
For understanding someone’s
For understanding someone’s background, whether for work or personal reasons, it’s surprising how much information can be out there—and how much of it can sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete. I’ve learned that relying on a solid, trustworthy background check service can make all the difference. That’s why looking into Checkr reviews was a game-changer for me. It helped me navigate through options and find a service that’s both reliable and thorough. It’s always better to be informed and confident about these things rather than leaving it to guesswork!
