Gib Miller was a great, caring, highly respected man.I would yell and wave as he cruised by in his patrol car. He always had a smile and a wave back, and on occasion would circle back around just to say hello and ask how we were. I am so sorry for your loss.
Hugs and prayers,

Oh Jean,
I am so sorry. I had a lot of fun and have many fond memories of the times I spent at your home. Gib was always nice and willing to help with everything, including putting stall lighting in my barn. You both were very special and a true blessing in my life. Gib will be missed, but I think his presence will remain always.
Fondly, Peg Fischer

Here i sit thinking back 45 years ago -- 45 years !!! To a time when this little girl thought the Miller family hung the moon - 'Mr Miller' looked much the same as the picture you shared - to me he will be forever young and highly respected! To 'Mrs Miller' - 58 yrs , wow - a true ideal - and to Carrie and Lori - my bestest friends all those years ago ..... I know you will miss him, but it is true - that he will be there with you in each new dawn - in the wind or maybe a flower - in the...

When I was dating my now husband, we were at a Tumwater restaurant late at night after the band he played in had done a show. Bob had not met Gib yet, Gib came in, in uniform, and started questioning Bob as to why he had me out at that hour. Then the laugh came. They got along well ever since!
He will definitely be missed!
