On behalf of Gibby’s close circle of college friends from our 4 wonderful years at Georgetown, we are all saddened by his unfortunate passing. We remember his infectious laugh and sharp witty sense of humor….. And of course his love for Maine and Washington, DC! He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. My deepest sympathy to his 3 wonderful children who have endured so much heartache and loss in the past few years. Love, Gina Mae from San Diego
