Dear Hibner Family.
It was an honor to have met Gary. I remember when I was looking at moving into the neighborhood and I came to talk to you both, while you were sitting in the yard enjoying the beautiful day. You made my decision easy to buy the house as I knew you were great people. We all came from the same state of Pennsylvania, too. It was an honor to have you as a neighbor and friend. Gary will be missed by many. Rest Easy, till Valhalla. May God bless the family during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Brian Knoch
