My deepest sympathy to the family. Even though it has been many years since I have seen the Gibbs family, I have fond memories of the times I spent at Woodland Circle when the Gibbs' family came to visit.

So sorry. I remember Ben from our childhood and his dad babysitting all the kids at the movies on Saturday night while our parents did the weekly grocery shopping.

June, thoughts and prayers for you on the loss of Ben. During the years I worked with Ben at NCDOT, he became a special friend, as well as, a co-worker. That friendship continued after he retired to Lake Gaston. He enjoyed deer hunting with Mike and taking his dogs to the farm for fun and exercise. We enjoyed the visits with you and him over the years. He was a special friend and will be missed by many. May God grant you peace and comfort in the coming days.

Thinking of your family upon Ben's passing. We grew up next door and to us 'little guys' he was our idol/hero...a truly good man. Know we are thinking of all of you.
