I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gibbons personally, however, I know he was deeply loved by his daughter ( and my life long friend ) Jackie. They were very close and I am sure she will continue to hold many precious memories in her heart. I am so sorry for the entire family’s loss. I pray they will all be comforted with the peace that only God can give at this time.
