To the entire Tibble Family: Please accept our condolences for the loss of your husband and father. We had the honor of meeting Mr and Mrs Tibble many years ago while they were grooming their yard. Mr Tibble invited us in to sit in his gazebo that he was so proud of. He shared his stories about being in Germany and meeting the love of his life, Mrs Tibble. He was a very gracious host and invited us to come back anytime we wanted. We would talk when whenever we'd see him in the yard and he was just a very pleasant man. We will miss our talks and hearing his stories. It was an honor to know him. May God comfort you in this time and may the memories of Mr Tibble sustain you and bring you smiles. God bless.

Mr. Tibble came to our business to have accessories put on his pick up truck. He was a delight to visit with while he was here. Telling us all about the trains that passed through our town. Wonderful man to visit with. Our heartfelt prayers are with his family. The Staff at Midwest Bedliners & Truck Toys, Coal City, IL
