I miss u Gibo.
July 1, 2017
Gibo,
What a light. I am so sad that your spirit no longer graces the earth in person. Your family can take solace that those who knew you/hIm will never forget you/him. Keep grinning that mischievous grin in whatever peaceful state and place you live...true immortality.

I worked with Gilbert for several years at the post office. In fact, I was his union steward and he kept me very busy. Gibo had a talent for making me laugh and curse all in the same conversation. My sincere condolences go out to the entire family.
