Gilbert Robert Legnard, 79, died of natural causes June 16 at his home in Annapolis.
Born June 6, 1931 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he attended St. Justin's High School. Mr. Legnard served in the National Guard during the Korean Conflict. He received a BA in Personal Management form Duquesne University. "Gib" was employed by the former Westinghouse Electric Corporation. As a procurement executive in support of national defense he traveled the world for over thirty years. He completed his career at the Oceanic Division.
He married his high school sweetheart, the former Joan Volpatt with whom he recently celebrated a 57th wedding anniversary. Other survivors include four loving children, Carol Kriewald of Millersville, MD, Paul Legnard (Julee) of Severna Park MD, and Meribeth (Mike) Seagroves of Durham, NC, and Paul Skrickus of Arnold MD who he thinks of as a son. He will be at peace in heaven when he joins his daughter, Linda Skrickus, who predeceased him.
A longtime member of Old South Country Club, Gib was recently named "King Geezer" by his golfing buddies. He and Joan traveled extensively and felt privileged to play at courses such as St. Andrews, Augusta National Golf Club and Pebble Beach. Throughout his life his Catholic Faith was very important to him. He was a devoted member of St. Andrew by the Bay. However, Gib's #1 interest in life was his 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He never missed a school or sporting event. Papa taught that families should be together and celebrate important events. We will continue this tradition always.
