Nick PerrineSo sorry to hear the sad news about a true friend I had for many years as we taught together at Bullen Middle School. We had many conversations on the phone when I moved up north and left Kenosha. I made it a point when I came back to Kenosha to visit this great friend at the nursing home especially during the pandemic. He dedicated his life to the Kenosha Unified School District and children ! He always had a great smile and laugh that will be missed ! RIP Gib Now you and Sharon can reunited in heaven !
