About Gibby

In January 2006, the Morris Lions rugby team created a memorial scholarship called “The Gibby” to honor their teammate David, who was a charter member of the Montville Wanderers youth flag program. David was a young man committed to sports, friends and the love of life and family.

David was passionate about his sports, fully committed to his teammates, coaches and the practice time necessary to improve his skills, never taking anything lightly. Mediocrity was never a word or philosophy that entered the fabric of his being; it was always the pursuit of excellence.

During competition, he was unwavering in support of his teammates, always with the philosophy “I’ve got your back!” He was the consummate competitor and teammate.
