I just learned about this terrible news today and, on behalf of myself and my family, want to say to the Kibel's, especially my old friends Charles and Adam, how sorry I am.  Charles was my best friend in high school and Adam became equally my closest friend and I basically lived at the Kibel house.  Even when we were teenagers and called him "Mr. Kibel", he insisted "call me Henry".  I have been all over the world but never met anyone as nice and impressive as Henry Kibel. He was a businessman but at heart an artist designing his own boats and houses, making furniture in his shop wearing his clothes from Sears, and (my favorite) drawing with pen and ink in his little sketchbooks. The greatest family ever. I am so grateful to have known Henry.

Mr. Kibel was one of the best employers I've ever worked for.  Both Mr. & Mrs. Kibel were very generous and made their company a wonderful place to work for.  I will never forget them.

My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Gratitude is the only way to describe my feelings for The Kibel Family. Henry was an extraordinary human with spirit, enthusiasm and overwhelming love of life. It's been an honor to know him and the entire family. LiveLove!

 So many years, so many good memories! Watching Kathy and Charles fight with each other as  toddlers. All the great birthday parties and holidays with Lily at the helm. And of course the many dinners at Gino's ...A great life to celebrate a great guy and an incredible family. How lucky we all are to have known such a special man.

I have fond memories of Henry from hanging out with the Kibel family WAYYYYYY back in the day. My condolences to all of you.

So sorry for your loss, Kibel family. Henry was one of a kind!  Lots of love.

Henry and his wife Lillian were two of the most warm hearted and creative people in New York.  Henry will be missed.

The world will be a less-fun place without Henry in it. He and Lili were much loved by so many. Hard to imagine a better-lived life.

My deepest sympathy to Anita and the family

Had I known I certainly would have been there - Henry was such a fabulous character whom I adored - The obituary was one day late in my times and not on the 29th - well, guess Gabriel was there with him - Sending love to the entire family - I am so very sorry - He was so much fun - and the family was so good to me

i always enjoyed my few moments with him when i was working on the 34 st project-

So sorry to hear about Henry's passing. He and Lillian were such a huge part of my childhood; I always remember the long summer days on his boat in the Hamptons. My mother especially loved Henry and Lillian, and spoke of them as the truest of true friends.  As well it's because of Henry that my child goes to William and Mary, a little "gem" of a school, my mother used to say, and one that was both near and far away enough for my daughter to make it her choice for college. I haven't seen Henry in so many years, but I am sorry not to have known about his passing until this moment; I would have loved to have heard his family's words for him. My condolences on the loss of a great man.

Although I never physically met Mr. Kibel, I felt the impact of his life through my father William in more ways than one. My father faithfully and lovingly worked for Mr. Kibel for many years. He looked at Mr.Kibel as a mentor,father figure, and friend not just his "boss". I know my father will sorely miss him,as he meant more to him than he will ever know. Rest in peace Mr. Kibel.

Without our Leader,
Life will never be the same. 
Thank you Kibel Family. Our Boss made our families very comfortable and gave us all a good life. Mr. Kibel, Sir, you will always be our Secret Guardian Angel.

Jamie and family.... So so sorry.  Henry had a great live and because of him we had many many great moments together.  He made a lot of good and we will always remember him.   Love, Vica, Gabi and Isa
