1933 – 2023
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Gib on October 16, 2023.
Gib is survived by his wife of 65 years Diane; his children Lori, Jody (John), and Craig; grandchildren Colin, Scott, Jessi, Candace, Dylan; and new great-granddaughter Mackenzie; as well as many family and friends.
Gib was predeceased by his daughter Cheryl in 2011.
Gib was a Carman for 36 years at CN Transcona Shops, retiring in 1988.
Gib and Diane enjoyed their retirement as members of the Transcona Golf Club, trips to Texas, hosting pool parties and playing darts. They made many friends along the way, who they are very thankful for.
Gib was very creative and innovative, known for his inventions and building instead of buying. He will be missed by many.
No service or celebration will be held.

My deepest condolences to the family
Gib and Diane were are neighbors in transcona for many, many years.
My prayers are with you.
I am saddened to learn of the passing ofGib. I enjoyed his way of doing things. Crafting holders of wood for darts. Playing darts. Helping him build things for the Transcona Golf Club. The shack between the 3rd tee box and the 16th green as an example. He was not one to shy away from expressing his views.
My condolences to Diane and children and grandchildren. Sad to not be around him!
