Gig first saw this photo at his aunt and uncles’s house when Gig was an adult, maybe his late teens, twenties or maybe even his thirties. Gig did not know who it was so he asked his aunt and uncle who it was. They told him it was his mother and when Gig went home he told his mother that he saw the picture and thought she was prettier than Elizabeth Taylor.

Gig believed that he and his father were twins born 36 years apart. When Gig was an adult, probably in his 30’s, he said to his father something about how much alike they are and remembers his father immediately responding, as if he already thought the same, and without ever looking at Gig, “Yeah, and all the bad too”.
When Gig was a young boy his father would ask him, “Who do you look like?”. Gig would respond with, “You”. Which was the answer Gig’s father wanted to hear, and was also true. On one of Gig’s scouting trips to colleges when he was a senior in high school, the college administrator looked at Gig and his father and said, “There is no woman involved in his looks”. When Gig was as adult, probably in his twenties, he remembers his father saying something to him about looking like his father, which Gig’s mother overheard and chimed in and said to Gig’s father, “Man, you never looked that good”.
Gig said that if he rated their traits, such as, leadership, business acumen, athleticism, temperament, charm, etc., on a scale of 1-10, his father was a 10 while Gig was an 8.
Gig believed that he understood his father better than anyone understood him, including his father himself. Gig was also very close to his mother and said he would do anything for her. She was the only person Gig spoke with nearly every day of his adult life.
As the youngest of three children, Gig said that he was just doing his job which was to inadvertently annoy his older brother and sister.
“Who do you look like?” Gig would respond with “You.”
“If you are going to do it. You might as well do it right the first time or I will just make you do it again.”
Mother-
“It’s not just about how much money you make, but about how you spend and invest your money.”
“The rich get richer by acting poor. And the poor get poorer by acting rich.”
Going to sporting events.
Going for drives, especially later in life when Gig’s mother stopped driving Gig would drive them, along with Gig’s parent’s dog Jet to Philadelphia and stop to get his mother a snickers candy bar and a diet soda on their way to Philadelphia where Gig would get them, world famous, freshly baked Philadelphia soft pretzels.
Gig’s aunts, uncles, cousins, older family friends, and even his own mother
Would frequently inadvertently call Gig by his older brother’s name.
In 2015 or 2016 Gig asked his brother if anyone ever inadvertently called him by Gig’s name but he said “No”.
