He will be missed!

[StangerBanger96]

Though I never had him I'd regularly visit him when I was in Johnson's class...he was a sweet teacher. What a shitty day

[KA-T_240]

He was an awsome teacher, with a awsome attitude. RIP Mr. Gigstad!!! You will be missed.

Gigstad in the past, didnt come out this year, was a Auto-xer with his rx-7s. To my last knowlegde he had 3 FC's. When talking to him outside of class he always was trying to learn differant stuff about cars( we had long discussions on my project, the 240, and turbos.......)

Wow, that is shocking news. He was awesome in and out of school.

[PSI2HI]

Wow, thats crazy and definatly sucks! He used to stop by the shop frequently to BS. Any idea what the cause was?

We didn't know of a heart problem. He went in last Friday. He had two surgeries this weekend for clots in his leg. The heart attack was a total shock.

from one of the teachers at MHS

I remember goin to his house on halloween a few years ago and looked at his FC's, i think every single one had about 30 diet coke cans on it.

That facebook group is growing, its obvious this guy was on tops of everyones list for favorite teachers. Im glad i was lucky enough to be a student

[YellowEvo]

yeah halloween our senior year was BA just handed us like 2 lbs of candy each... and brought us back and showed his other RX-7's and just would sit and bullshit with us about cars every day in class if we got done with the assignment early

[Bookem]

He will be missed by many, by far the best teacher ever. R.I.P. Giggy

[KA-T_240]

Who all is going to the funeral?

[STiSchucky]

I'll probably be at the NDSU/Gopher game, but I plan on going to the visitation. What time is everybody else going/anybody else?

[StangerBanger96]

I want to go to either the Visitation or the Funeral...not sure which yet.

Both will be packed obviously.

[KA-T_240]

I know me and Jake T. will be going to the funeral

[slow90gsx]

[svxAL]

[Jim]

Man... I had him for mentorship... he was awesome...
