Barry James Gibble

Our beloved father Barry James Gibble, passed away unexpectedly on July 8, 2023 at South Mountain at the age of 76. He was the husband of the late Nancy M. (Brown) Gibble who passed away in 2009. His family is deeply saddened by his sudden death. Barry was born in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He was raised by his loving Grandparents John and Mary Gibble. He worked as a tire repair mechanic for most of his adult life. Prior to his retirement he had been employed with Carlos Leffler, Inc. for many years. When Barry was not at work or tinkering out in his garage, he enjoyed hunting, watching NASCAR and spending time at his cabin in Potter County. He was an avid fan of Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and Richard Petty. Barry was well known for tenacious work ethic, as well as being strong willed and stubborn at times. He also had an enormous heart and a smile that would light up the room. During Barry’s later years he received much joy from spending time with his family and going out to eat at the Flamingo Restaurant. It brought him great pleasure placing copious amounts of ketchup on each French fry. When he was not consuming ketchup, he loved his trips to Walmart to buy his many cases of Coca Cola, or his golf cart rides with his best friend Shawn. He is survived by two daughters Tammy, wife of Dave Dilling of Williamsburg, PA; Louisa, wife of Jason Arnt of Murrells Inlet, SC; one son William Gibble of Pottsville; nine grandchildren, Travis, Chadd and Luke Carroll, Amanda and Joshua Ream, Hannah Arnt, Samantha, Miranda and Milinda Gibble; 7 great-grandchildren Wesley Ream, Lyra Wolfe, Easton Dell, Tyler and Aubrey Carroll, and Caelen Cook; Half-brother Jack Deurer and wife Bonnie; half-sister Jill, wife of Lee Auchenbach. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife Nancy Gibble, a great-grandson Liam Ream and mother Mildred Strangarity. Funeral services will be held Friday, July 14, 2023 at 11AM from Kreamer Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 618 E. Main St. Annville. Interment will follow at Grand View Memorial Park, Annville. A viewing will be held one hour prior to his service at the funeral home. Memorial contributions may be made to Myerstown Church of the Brethren, 51 W.
