Gibby and the rest of the Gibson Family,
I was fortunate to know your father for quite some time through CBC. I knew him as a daily communicant at St. Clement's and a Sunday Mass attendee there as well. In fact saw him at the 11:00 a couple of weeks ago. What a tremendous example and influence he is to the family and friends. May he rest in peace.
