Gerald R. Gibbons

December 5, 1924 — March 22, 2016

On March 22 the earth grew a little darker and heaven a little brighter as we lost Gerald Gibbons .  Gerald passed away at West Chester Hospital of natural causes.  He is survived by his wife Maxine Gibbons, their two children, and 5 grandchildren.
Gerald was known by many nicknames the most prevalent was Gibby to his friends and Bumpa to the grandchildren.  Gibby was born in December 1924 he and his twin were the youngest of 7 children.  A Michigan native he meet his wife when they were both working at Becher, Peek, and Lewis in 1946 and were wed two years later. Gibby worked at Fisher Body which eventually became part of the General Motors Corporation.  He was transferred to the GM plant in Norwood, Ohio in 1971, but his heart remained pure Michigan.  An avid fan of the University of Michigan he was clad in blue and maze until the end.  Throughout his life he enjoyed hunting and fishing.  He and his wife enjoyed traveling with friends and saw a great deal of Europe and the Caribbean.
Gibby was truly the light that lit up the room.  He could walk into any place and within minutes know everyone's name, where they went to school, and half the people's weight. Between his wit and never ending sayings he brought joy to countless people's heart.
The funeral mass will be at St. Susanna Catholic Church 616 Reading Rd, Mason, OH 45040 on Tuesday the 29th of March at 10:00 AM.  Burial will follow at Rose Hill Cemetery, 171 Mason Montgomery Rd, Mason, OH 45040.  There will be a luncheon at St. Susanna following the burial.  The family does not wish for flowers rather a donation be made in Gerald's name to the American Heart Association.
