Obituary

Jack Hibbs, 64, of Fort Myers passed away at his home on January 23, 2007 after a five year battle with cancer. He was born on September 10, 1942 in Bristol, PA.

He worked for 30 years as a machinist at US Steel, Fairless Hill. Some of Jack's greatest loves were baseball, Elvis, golf, food - especially breakfast at Marti's Restaurant and most of all, his family. He will also be remembered fondly by his friends at the Gateway Country Club where he worked as a 'golf ranger' and was affectionately known as 'the Enforcer", and by his friends and neighbors at the Golfview Condos where he served as president for the Inverness group. He also loved hanging out with his buddies at the Golf Shop.

Jack will forever be remembered lovingly by his wife of 43 years, Kay, his daughter, Deb and her husband David Simon, his son, Jack Hibbs, his mother, Ethel, his sister, Elaine (John) Moran and their children and his former daughter-in-law, Georgia (Jim) Branson and their son, Sam.

He will be greatly missed. Go to the light, Big Guy!

Memorials can be made to Hope Hospice, 9470 Health Park Circle, Ft. Myers, FL 33908. A private service has been held for the family.
