Hi, I'm the step son of Robert G Gibney. I grew up in Gardiner and lived across from John Gray who had the Garage. Franklin gave me my first car insurance when I was 16 years old. I am now 47. The whole family are very nice people !

Richard and Jody Kassel spent the very sweetest portions of their lives living in Hamden, NY: across the street from Frank and Janet. Our lives are so much poorer with Frank's passing, but still contain some of life's best memories.
