On June 1, 1954, Gib was united in marriage to Maureen Kinney at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Winthrop. Five children were born to this union. Gib was a lifelong farmer. After his retirement, he worked for the City of Manchester Parks and Recreation and the Manchester Cemetery Board, thoroughly enjoying maintaining the grounds.
Gib was a longtime member of St. Mary Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He distributed Communion to the homebound, was an usher, and participated in all the church festivals. Gib was a proud member of the Manchester American Legion and the VFW. He was also a member of the Delaware County Cattlemen's Association. Gib enjoyed playing cards, woodworking, horses, and golfing. He always enjoyed watching his children's and grandchildren's activities. Gib loved and cherished his family and enjoyed spending time with them and his friends.
