Yet another one of our Classmates departs. Seems way too soon. I was not close to "Gib" at KHS but he must have been a terrific guy. Many folks have testified to this. Rest In Peace our friend.

I played baseball with "Gibby". I rememember him as being quiet and a decent ballplayer-- so young to go!
