Not sure what to say?

Thank you for reminding me of a great man and friend. Gib was always laughing and generous in his knowledge of art. He was always available to teach the wax method of creation. I lost the silver cross he gave me. Does anyone know the foundry in Colorado that produced Gib´s crosses? Please let me know. 505-907-9390. Gracias Gib and all his friends.

Remembering our friend Gib on this sixth anniversary of his passing. We continue to enjoy his sculptures and they remind us of him and his great talents daily. We were fortunate to have known the man behind the talent and call him a friend.

I just discovered this inspired man.

I went on a search for the artist and found Gib. NOW I find that he has passed on the the true reward for his work. I'm so sorry I missed him! Lynne Stansbery

You were a GREAT artist. Sorry we never met.

Gib was my friend whose memory will always be with me forever. I met Gib in 1975 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.. Gib had opened his own art studio and foundry and named it The Renaissance Art Gallery and Lost Wax Foundry. I knew nothing about art, but Gib took me under his wing and taught me about the lost wax process of making molds and casting molten bronze. I miss him very much, I would call him every few months or so just to say Hi and to tell him I loved him and he always answered back that I...

Knew Gib in Denver and acquired a number of his works.
A good guy and a great talent.

I have been asked to extend Sympathies to all on behalf of my uncle, Norman John Brokaw, my mom, Shirley Parmley and Gib's High School Classmates. My mom was in art class with Gib. She said, he was a wonderful artist & was always ‘ahead of his time'. She said, ‘he was the first Beatnik in Granite City'. Also, I wanted you to let you know, George Pellet cherished his friendship with Gib. They talked often. George passed away in January 2013. George use to tell me great stories of his good...

Sympathies to all, who loved Gib. He was such an asset to the world! I was lucky enough to view his exhibit a few years ago, when it was at SIUE. Everything was magnificent. Thank you, Gib, for sharing your talent with us!

Until we meet again Gib. Thank you for all the wisdom, laughs and heartfelt conversations. You gave me the oppoturnity in working on your first two books and so so so much more. I took your advice last summer, no smokes since our last visit. Prayers to the family. Love Ya Man!
