My friend and fellow horologist Varlen Gibbs passed away. He was an active member of NAWCC Chapter 158 and volunteered at the York Regional Shows.
Varlen L. Gibbs, a lifelong resident of York, Pennsylvania, passed away on January 27, 2026, at York Hospital.
Varlen was a man of exceptional kindness, a generous spirit, and a wonderful sense of humor. He was a steady and loving presence for those who knew him, known for his quick wit and his big heart.
