The first time I met Gibby was at Roosters Restaurant. Very nice guy, funny. Really enjoyed setting around the table chatting with him. Met Gibby through my Uncle Bud. R.I.P Gibby glad to have met you

I’m so very sorry to hear of our loss. He was a wonderful man who was so supportive of his grandchildren. My husband coached his granddaughter in basketball and he was at every game. He was always there with a smile, rooting her on. So very sorry to hear this.
