The Gibson Girls Estate Sale
305 Bell Avenue Sheboygan, WI.
Many of you were at the pre-Christmas sale at Bernie's apartment shortly after he passed away in November from COVID-19. This will now be the final chapter in his legacy of being one of the most interesting, talented and well-liked persons in our community.
Because of the quantity of items, we were able to rent the apartment across from his apartment to house his "overflow". We have emptied his storage areas and added them to this beautiful sale.
