Gib served the City of St. Cloud as a Policeman from 1960 until his retirement in 1983. After his retirement he served as the Head of Security at Crossroads Mall in Waite Park for eight years. He was a member of St. John Cantius Catholic Church.

Gib was a loving father and grandfather and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed going hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed collecting firearms, going to the shooting range, carpentry and working on cars. He will be remembered for his good sense of humor, for always having a smile on his face and love of his family.

He is survived by his children, Lisa Landwehr, Karen Weihs, Michael (Amy); grandchildren, Kelly (Jason) Stice, Eric (Brittany) Morford, Ryan (Audry) Morford, and Tyler (fiancé, Lindsey) Morford; and relatives and friends.
