He was 74.

Mr. Gibbs learned carpentry as a child, said his former wife, Jannie James of Fort Lauderdale. He grew up in Chapleton in the Mocho Mountains of central Jamaica and worked each day after school at a cabinetmaker's shop. In the early '40s, he immigrated to the United States. For the next five years he labored in the sugar cane fields near Belle Glade during the winters and on Northern vegetable farms in the summers.

In 1945, he met and married James, and went to work for a short time in Miami as a union carpenter. Soon after he decided to try it on his own. In 1951, he built his first home in Hallandale and a year later he received his general contractor's license from Broward County. "He was the first black general contractor in the county," said a son, Albert Gibbs of Lauderhill. "He was told that when he applied for his license" in 1952.

During the next 32 years, Mr. Gibbs, who became a U.S. citizen in the early '50s, built more than 100 Bernie Mclntee's All Broward Cremations St Burial Service Inc. 975-8130 Alpha and Omega Cremation Society, Inc. Dania-Fort Lauderdale, FL 33004 S.

built motels and hotels, apartment buildings and a shopping plaza in the three-county area. "He was well-known in Hollywood and west Hollywood," his son said. "He lived in Hallandale for 17 years in the house he built." Work was Mr. Gibbs' life, said his son and ex-wife, and he had few other interests. "He was a loner," Albert Gibbs said.

"He was a hard worker, really hard. He wouldn't even take Sundays off. He was a workaholic." About five years ago, Mr. Gibbs closed his business and retired. He was ill the past three years.
