Gibby was one of the "rare Gems". A Heart of Gold - constantly went out of his way to help "anyone". You truly could not meet a genuinely nicer human being. You will be missed my friend.

John was a great guy. I could always get him to laugh when I called him "dart board dispatch". I'll miss him and I'm sure he is in a better place..

Thanks
