Hello Gibb family, I am very sorry for your loss, and I and my family send our condolences. I knew Mr. Gibb as a child growing up in London, and knew him as a friendly man -- the kind of person a child wouldn't be afraid to run into while cutting through his backyard. My parents Bob and Barb always counted the Gibbs as good neighbours, good people, and friends. Joel Kissack Oakville, Ontario
Thinking of you at this sad time Joanne. Our sympathy goes out to you at the loss of your Dad.
Dear Lou, I am so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I have fond memories of Ken as a co-worker at John Labatt. You must have taken wonderful care of Ken, for him to enjoy his life and family for another 26 years. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Mary Lynne (Pryor) Hooey
Dear Mrs Gibb, Colleen and Joanne, I'm so sad to hear about Ken's passing. I will always have warm memories of Mr. Gibb. As a child, he always had a big smile to welcome me when I would come to visit and a joke to make me laugh. My favourite was when he'd read the bottle label: "Bien Agiter" which he said with a very english accent. I laughed every time. It's often the small moments that are so special in life and the ones that stay with us the longest. I know what sadness you must be feeling right now and I hope you find comfort in all the good memories. Mom (Margaret) sends her condolences as well. Blessings, Susan
