Not sure what to say?

I met Tom when I started work at City Credit Union in 1974. He was one of the greatest persons I have ever met. I considered him a great friend. Adam, Aaron and Andy Please accept my sincere condolences- -I know you loved him very much. Many people share your love. RIP Tom.

Definately a very good man. I was sorry I did not hear of his passing till now. However; I expect to see him again.
His memory and those who knew him speak volumes of his charactor. I only hope to be someone who leaves similar footprints while here. What a pilar and rock Tom was. Blessings to his family and friends whom were blessed to have been a part of his life.
Thanks Tom, you did it right.

A very sad time, Tom is gone. There are very few police officers I respected more than Tom. He always brought a consistent "calming influence" to explosive situations. Yet he always had his "aw shucks" personality while being an incredible influence of calm but capabible presence. Tom Gibson was a very fine man, I am very sorry he is gone.

Tom was the best man I have ever met or will ever meet again. A huge loss in my life. As my friend John has said, No one could have a better friend like Tom Gibson. He was always there for me and for any one in need. He will forever be missed.

Im so sorry for the loss of your father.HE was a very kind hearted man. Thought of him often when I moved back to Vancouver.

My deepest condolences to Adam, Aaron and Andy on the loss of your father. Mr. Gibson was a great man and a great role model to us when we were just young "punks". As Adam can attest, he set me straight more than once. I am sure that he will be greatly missed.

Tom was the other dad watching over me and my friends growing up. He was one of my dad's (John Parr) best friend. This is a loss for all...my prayers are with your family.

One of the gretest losses of my life! A better friend no one could have. He was always there for me and for any one in need. He will be missed.

I knew Tom through a mutual friend and always had a great respect for him. He was a good man with a great sense of humor. He will be missed by all those who knew him.
