Re: [Texascavers] Passing of MJ Gibbons
Wow - that’s a surprise. Sorry to hear that. I know Mr Gibbons had very strong opinions about a lot of things - and after one such “debate”, he did take time to send me a nice civil note which I appreciated. We shared a few notes and agreed to share a beer at the next TCRwhich never happened. While I may not not have always agreed or disagreed with him - I am still sorry to hear this news. His unique perspective and voice will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Re: [Texascavers] Passing of MJ Gibbons
Thanks, Geary. I'm shocked and greatly saddened at MJ's passing. He was one helluva nice guy -- and an unforgettable character in Texas caving circles. Offering my sincere condolences to the family.

[Texascavers] Passing of MJ Gibbons
Reported from Fran Hutchins his Facebook page. I know everyone isn't on Facebook and thought this should be shared with the caving community. Sad news, suddenly and unexpectedly one our own MJ Gibbons past away this morning from an apparent heart attack. There was never a dull moment hanging around MJ he will be missed. Once I have information from his family about a service I will let everyone know Fran Hutchens. MJ was a great guy and would do anything in the world for you. He had strong conventions and you always knew where he (and you stood). He was always willing to volunteer and helped at Deep and Punkin with the showers, at Robber Baron Cave, the LaChance Sinkhole, and with the Texas Hydro Geo Workshop where he played the key role in logistics, set up and tear down. He will be greatly missed, Geary Schindel tablechair1...@gmail.com <>___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
