Photo of Douglas A. R. Gibbs
This is a picture of my Grandfather Douglas A. R. Gibbs. This is the only picture I have of him. I wish I had more info about him, sadly his only son, my father passed away 2 years ago, at 75, Ronald Douglas Gibbs from Knowlton, Quebec. My Grandfather and Grandma Daisy only had one child, which was my father, Ron Gibbs, My father had three boys, Robert, Ronald, and me (Patrick) Gibbs. Sadly my two brothers have passed away with no children, Therefore I am the only living survivor still alive at 48. But the good news is that Grandpa or Great Grandpa has two great sons Nicholas Douglas Ronald Gibbs 17, and David Alexander Thomas Gibbs 15. And I am John-Patrick Thomas Gibbs 48. from Brockville Ontario thank you for helping us find our Hero! and His story Sincerely Mr. P Gibbs -
