his home following a brief illness with a glioblastoma of the brain. He was born on

October 21, 1946 to the late Stinson Joseph Gimbel and Mildred Brown Gimbel.

Frank never met a stranger. He enjoyed people wherever he went and always made time

for conversation. He loved his career as a deputy sheriff, serving the communities of

Culpeper, Madison, and Prince William, and his experience on the open road as a

commercial truck driver. He valued his time on the family farm, driving his tractor, and

working beef cattle.   He was a member of the Linn Banks Lodge in Madison. Most recently, he could be found enjoying time with his beloved German Shepherd Dog, Angel.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Frank Lloyd Gimbel, II. He is

survived by his wife of 50 years, Bonnie Pote Gimbel; daughter, Kelly Denise Gimbel; daughter-in-law, Christina Mills Gimbel; son Gregory Allan Gimbel; sister, Nancy Carol Gimbel; grandchildren, Edward Stinson Gimbel, Jackson Thomas Gimbel, Ryan Stephen Gimbel, and Derek Alexander Gimbel.
