Gerald Lubeck Obituary

North Pownal, VT.

Gerald L. Lubeck died on Friday, December 13, 2019. He was 77 years old.

He is survived by his wife Nancy, daughter Sandra, brothers Stanley, Dale, Jeffrey and sister Karin.

He was an artist whose specialty was realism. He loved to paint Vermont landscapes and animals but, would also paint any subject matter that he found interesting. His full biography and photos of his work can be seen at the Tilting at Windmills gallery website (www.tilting.com). He enjoyed playing bingo and going to the movies. He had a wry sense of humor and like to wear tee shirts with fun characters like Mickey Mouse. He had many with funny saying such as: "in memory of when I cared" "Sarcastic comment loading" His newest for the holiday season was-"This year instead of gifts I am giving everyone my opinion"

He was a medic in the US Army in Vietnam. He lived the last couple of months of his life under care at the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington. There will be no funeral service as he donated his body to the Albany Medical school.

It´s ironic that this email reminder of Jerry came today. For the past couple of days I have been looking at his available works on the Tilting at Windmills Gallery, trying to decide which we will buy. He is still in our hearts and minds.

I knew Jerry in high school. He was a wonderful soul. I still have a portrait he painted of me. Miss him.

I met Gerald through his brother Dale whom I have known since the late 60's. I didn't know him well, but I loved his work. Dale was a very special friend who was always there for me. He was my go to guy when I needed a date to attend special occasions. He would even get me out on the dance floor and I admit I am not a talent. I had a wedding to attend of a college friend and Dale escorted me. He gave as a gift to the happy couple one of Gerald's prints. Much to my delight my friend was very excited to receive this and said she admired his work. Then I surprised her when I introduced my date. I said, well Elaine meet Dale, Gerald's younger brother. It was a lovely moment. I am sadden to learn of Gerald's passing but take joy in that I was connected to his family who were most gracious to me at a gathering I was invited to. RIP to a gifted artist.

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Gerald Lubeck. May you continually be comforted by God, Family and Friends. Several months ago I purchased a picture from the thrift store for 2.99 because I needed that size picture frame. Before removing the picture I noticed it was signed and numbered by Mr. Lubeck. I googled the information. What I have is "On the Trail, 176/980 in its original framing (gold mailing label on the back).

RIP, Mr Lubeck. My wife and I hang several Lubeck pieces in our home. Having roots in Vermont but living my adult life mostly in the South, Gerald's beautiful interpretations of Vermont's pastoral life keep my memories of the Green Mountain state alive. Thank you for that!
