Gilbert "Gib" Marguth

Dear Marguth Family, I worked with Gib at LLNL and remember him well. He was always there if you needed help and as recently as a couple months ago I called him for help in resolving a retiree health plan problem. Again he was there to help and did. Please accept my deepest condolences. Gib will be missed. Allen Levy

Dear Mrs. Marguth and family, I will always have fond memories growing up next to your family. I remember my parent's supporting Mr. Marguth's campaign with signs in our front yard. Your home was always welcome to the neighborhood kids. I am so very sorry for your loss and know you have many wonderful memories to treasure.

Dear Marj: The last time I saw Gib was at our class reunion and I'm a hugging individual, and he was the only one who returned the hug. That made me feel really good. Our visit brought back a lot of good memories of our youth. We all had quite a history together. I know that he will be missed. I hope that your good memories will be a comfort to you in the days ahead. I am so sorry.

I only met and knew Gib recently but I ALWAYS knew his name in this town. I thought I could not know someone who had such a reputation as a community person. When I met and talked to him, I realized what a great guy I had missed over the years and I was indeed worthy to have known him. He was a standout to me and I am pleased to have had that time. I'm sorry that you will be without him. He made a difference and at is any of us wants to do.

I worked with Gib on the Alameda County Republican Central Committee and helped him on his capaign when he ran for the State Senate. He had a sharp wit, was well liked and will be missed.

I taught at Parkrose High School when Gib was there long ago. After that I moved to California and resumed my art and mechanical drawing teaching at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek. I have not forgotten him. Always a leader.
