Larry Eugene Gibson

We follow a pathway that has no end
as we travel through life day by day.
Together with those who are dear to our hearts
and are there by our side, come what may
But sometimes a loved one must travel ahead
for reasons that aren't always clear.
And we're left behind to continue along,
missing one who is no longer here.
And while it may seem that the pathway has stopped,
it merely has rounded a bend,
And our loved one goes on to a much brighter place
down the pathway that has no end.

I saw this quote once and thought of you......
Our hearts are reaching out to you,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences.

I have just heard about the sad passing of a very dear Facebook friend, Larry Gibson . Many of you knew him and played Mafia Wars with him. I have had the pleasure of knowing Larry as friends here for almost 5 years. In this time, we have had many in depth chats, laughs and tears.Larry and I founded Savage Grace, a mafia wars family together and he loved this and the game. He was an amazingly strong man with sound beliefs and ethics. Larry was my mentor, guide and adviser in many areas in my life and he fought so bravely against his illnesses caused by exposure to agent orange in the vietnam war. He truly has been an inspiration to me and many others. RIP Larry...you will be sorely missed and always remembered for the man you were....strong, wise, generous , a true family man and a damned good friend. Deepest condolences to Ginny, Tom and the family.

I am the Godmother of the mafia family that Larry was a part of and on behalf of all members in No Hassle we will miss Larry greatly , you were a very much liked and respected member and our hearts are very sad that you have been taken. To all your loved one's we are sorry for you loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this sad time x

I only knew Larry through Facebook because of our connection playing in the same "family" in the Mafia Wars game, but I wish I had had the chance to meet him in real life. We might have had some very spirited conversations, considering our Facebook exchanges! Give 'em hell, Larry!

We were 3, from grade 9 - 12 at Ft. Eustis, VA; Danny Bradley, Larry, & me. Where there was trouble. 1 or all 3 were involved.
The "Great Hubcap Caper" of 1962 or 63, fell to us. Danny drove a '49 Chevy, I had a '48 Cosmo. But, Larry drove his Father's '59 Chevy with the spinners hubcaps. Larry didn't like his Father's hubs and offered to trade for Danny'baby moons.
This day, as all others, we were on our way home from school in Danny's car where the larcenous plan was hatched. We all lived within a block or 2; Larry would get out at home and drive his father's car to the snack bar where we all played pinball, smoked cigarettes, drank vanilla coke and impressed the girls -we thought! Danny parked his car & left the trunk unlocked
Soon, Larry arrived, got out of his Father's new car and began to remove the hubs. Job done, he placed them in Danny's trunk & joined us at the machines.
Unbeknownst to any of us, adults enjoying their own drinks in the snack bar watched Larry "steal" the hubs off that '59 Chevy; they called the Military Police.
Danny & Larry got in trouble - I think Larry was restricted for a couple weeks.Danny's Father was the Army Post Judge, Danny got off with a warning. This wasn't the only one of our many escapades that found me 'guilty by association.'
I think of you often old friend. Danny too is gone -another AO victim from Nam, not sure how or why i survive....Semper fi my brothers
