Went to school with Fibber and he was quite a football player, I later saw him as I got older at bingo halls mostly the Waterville American Legion, he had a way of smiling that no matter what your day was it became better. He was a good no nonsense kind of guy and loved to work. He was proud of his business. I am sorry to see such an awesome individual pass. I pray for his soul and that Angels take him to heaven where he can make others smile. He will be a great guardian Angel for someone....God bless, my condolences to his family and friends...Fibber, hold the door open , the rest will be right behind you............
