Obituary of Gilbert E. Ewin

Gilbert E. Ewin Sr. (affectionately known as Cutie) was born April 5, 1947 in Comfort Hall Jamaica West Indies to Theophilus and Advira Ewin. He attended school in Comfort Hall Jamaica as a young boy. At age seventeen he began doing contract work in Bellle Glade Florida. He moved to New Jersey in the 70's and met Denise Mack, who he fell in love with and married on March 15, 1975. Together they raised three beautiful children in Cumberland County in a loving home they built together.

Gilbert had an exceptional work ethic. He was always doing something. Whether at work or at home he kept busy with gardening, building, and helping out his friends. He worked at Seabrook Brothers and Son's and then at Green Giant until 1988 when he began working at Kerr Pipe, where he remained employed until retiring in April of 2009. He then assisted his wife Denise with running "Ewin Skill Care Center" for a number of years before they both retired to Palm Coast Florida where they quickly adopted the name peanut butter and jelly, because they were always together.
