  18. Hard to believe, it is now been 25 years ago today Milwaukee Television News and WITI-TV would never be the same. Tonight, TVNT remembers a Milwaukee Television icon... the late, great Vince Gibbens. His colleagues refer to him as Capt. Ad-Lib (Vince ad-libs on his news stories and reports). Vince worked at various stations starting in Providence, RI (WJAR), then joined WISN-TV from 1978 to 1981. After a stint in Sacramento, he returned to Milwaukee in '82 to join WITI-TV (Then CBS - Now FOX) where he worked with so many greats; Kim Devore, Mike Miller, Nancy Laffey, John Drilling, Joanne WIlliams, Vince Condella, and Carl Zimmerman. After spent 3 1/2 years at WBAL-TV (Then CBS - Now NBC) he returned to the same position at WITI in '89 where he paired with the late Melodie Wilson at 5pm and Joyce Garbaciak (Now at WISN) at 6 & 10pm. During his 2nd run at WITI, Gibbens was praised by his co-workers for his cool handling of major breaking news and news emergencies. Vince was a dedicated family man, a husband, a father of five children, and member of the military who served his country as a broadcaster for the Armed Forces Network; Gibbens was truly a well respected communicator. But his life was cut short 25 years ago when he lost his life at the age of 46 to an apparent heart attack. Gibbens death was a total shock to all news viewers and fans in Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin who adore and watched him for so many years. Many broadcasters and viewers mourned his death, but we celebrate his life, the standards of journalism he set, and the legacy he leaves. Vince (Capt. Ad-Lib), You'll NEVER be forgotten by the fans who grew up watching you in Milwaukee, and the dedication of Television News you made it happened. RIP Vince and Godspeed.
