2 Oct 2023My condolences for your loss. Gib connected so many lives when he created the BBS Comp-U-Find Online. Countless memories of good friends, majormud, trivia, and more – it’s even how I met my wife. My life certainly wouldn’t be the same without you Gib, my eternal gratitude. May you rest in peace, and may Splatter script Newhaven forever.
