Gareld “Gary” Norman Dibble was born in Tracy, MN.  He has been a resident of the Yuba –Sutter, California area for 40+ years. Gary is an Air Force Veteran, serving the Vietnam war.  He had been stationed at Beale AFB in CA and stayed in the area when he was discharged.  Gary started a crop dusting business after being discharged.  He flew for many years and was also a flight instructor for a time.  He loved to hunt as well.  But deep in his heart he was always a farm boy from Minnesota and he loved to grow things.  He grew 20 acres of wine grapes on his property, but loved his garden most of all.  Many neighbors, friends and employees were recipients of his garden bounty.  His tomatoes were the most famous.

He is survived by his wonderful and loving wife, Jennifer Barrett of Browns Valley; his amazing daughter, Anna Dibble of Browns Valley; his step-daughter, Marie Aragon; his step-son, Tom Moll; two grandchildren, Scarlett and Diego; his siblings: Jane Hanson (Robert), Karen Nyren (Colin), Marie Flaten, Chick Dibble and Roger Dibble: also many nieces and nephews.  He is preceded in death by his parents, Clark and Elsie Dibble of MN.
