Gilbert E. Hulting, 89, of Hutchison Island, FL, and formerly of Coventry, RI, went to be with his beloved Lord and Savior on Monday, April 6, 2026. His battle with liver cancer over the last 2 years displayed his trust, strength, and love in the Lord. He passed peacefully after enjoying his last breakfast with his family at home.

A graduate of Hope High School, Gilbert worked as a planner for Electric Boat in Groton, CT, for 30 years before retiring in 1996. He was a proud U.S. Army veteran. 

Gil enjoyed spending time with his family, going to the beach, cookouts, and church potlucks. His hobbies included golfing with his buddies, working on projects, and reading. He was a great storyteller. Gil was a member of Abundant Life Church in Stuart, FL, where he was a part of their drama productions, helping around the church, and on the prayer team. When he was in Rhode Island he attended Christian Hill Community Church.

He was predeceased by his daughter, Holly Wheeler, his son, Richard Wheeler, and grandson, Dustin Wheeler, his brother, Richard Hulting, and his sister, Corinne Sjogren.
