We knew "Gibby" from the softball scene for years. My late husband, Randy Walker, played ... always looking forward to the Virginia celebration each summer when he would host a softball tourney. We have a lot of great memories up there and at tournaments. He loved softball as much as we did!! A great guy!!!

I knew John mostly from slow pitch softball. He was a wonderful person who added to everyone else´s lives, who knew him. His family was very fortunate to have him in their lives.
