I worked for Mr. Gibbons all through high school and a few years later, and I feel like I've lost a great role model and friend. I'll always cherish my experiences with him.

Jeannine and I are deeply saddened and sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Lyn.

Our deepest sympathy to all.  George will be greatly missed.  He was a great neighbor/friend and our dogs just loved to see him and get pets.

So very sorry.  Lyn if you need anything do not hesitate to get on touch ,  
You and the kids and grand kids are in our thoughts n prayers

My prayers and thoughts are with all, this is truly a sad day when such a great soul leaves us he will dearly be missed !

I worked with George over many years providing music for him as a country club(s) manager.  He was well liked by everyone because he treated all with respect.  You didn't need a contract with George, his word was was enough.
He will be missed.

To George's Family,

We are very sad to read of George's passing. We joined Mt. Hawley Country Club in 1999 just as George was finishing his career there. Our paths crossed a number of times over the years, the last being in late 2011. Those happy memories are precious. We hope your many happy memories will help you get through this most difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

From An Old Soldier's Prayer:

I have fought when others feared to serve.
I have gone where others failed to go.
I've lost friends in war and strife,
Who valued Duty more than love of life.

George Gibbons was a proud member of the United States Army and an honored member of the American Legion Post 2. He will always be remembered as 
"One of Us." 

For God and Country

Commander Post 2

George, I will always remember the fun we had at the track. You were my buddy and partner in crime. You will be missed by all who knew you. Your out of pain now and I'm sorry to the family for a "BIG LOSS" and void.

To the Gibbons family. So sorry for the loss of George. He was one of the kindest and caring human beings I've ever known. Gonna miss our spaghetti dinners and ball games. He use to call me WMBD because I kept him abreast of the days and times Bradley and all the games baseball, football were on. RIP, my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you all these years.
