MY SYMPATHY TO DR. GIBSON'S FAMILY. I HAVE MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF HOW KIND AND UNDERSTANDING DR. GIBSON WAS. I ALSO REMEMBER HOW DEDICATED HE WAS TO PATIENTS ALLOWING THEM TO CALL HIM AT THE HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING WHILE HE WAS MAKING ROUNDS. HE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING TO MY TEACHING SCHEDULE. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW HELPFUL HE WAS IN GETTING ME WELL FROM MY YEARLY BOUTS OF BRONCHITIS.
I HOPE HE HAD A VERY PEACEFUL DEATH.

Dr. Gibson treated four generations of our families in an uncommonly caring way. I remember his frequent glances into his waiting room to make sure he wasn't making patients wait too long. He made housecalls to check on my 100 year old grandmother. He referred me to another doctor when he insisted I didn't want to end up with a baseball finger like his. He was a kind and gentle man. I trust he is now with the Father.
Our condolences to his family.

How sad we are knowing that we have lost a great friend. Dr. Gibson played such an important part in Tom's teaching career at Hinsdale South and the Gibson family has always been so special to us. We will miss the little twinkle in Dr. Gibson's eyes. We love you all, will miss him greatly, but also take comfort knowing that he is free of pain and at peace.
Love, Tom and Linda Kordewick
