Steph, Chris, Brian & Katie and Evelyn –
I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
"The eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Look to and lean on God. He is always there.

Gibb and I met two and a half years ago when I started with Autopart. We became best of friends. We could relate to each other about most anything. The thing I will remember (and enjoyed most) was when we were both off work on a Wednesday and after he took the dogs to the park he would stop at my house on his way home. We would sit on the back deck and solve the problems of the world while the dogs rested. I will miss Gibb VERY MUCH. Work will not be the same without him there. My sincere sympathy to the family. Keep looking up to the ONE who gives strength in time of need.

Gibb, just wanted you to know you were one of my best friends I ever had. From day one when we first met we hit it off as friends. You made it fun to come to work everyday. You made me laugh all the time. It was truly a pleasure in my life that I ever got to know you. THANKS. You were the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back which is unheard of today. Rest in peace buddy, see you again in heaven. Mrs. Gibb you take care of yourself it will get somewhat better slowly but surely. Again, I mean this, if there is anything I can do please let me know. I m sorry that I can’t be there, but I am so glad I got to talk to Gibb a couple of weeks ago. Please try to hang in there, believe me I know what your feeling. God bless you.
P.S. Gibb I will always miss the way we always played tricks on each other. You get the trophy though, when you put the hot pepper in my soda. I will never forget you.
