Not sure what to say?

I met, Jeffrey, through his sister, Regina(who was my good friend), we went to high school together at, Wildwood Catholic, in North Wildwood, NJ. I was fond of the whole Gibbons family including, Jeffrey. May he rest in peace. Love and Peace, Tom Nazzaro


Nothing before has ever stirred memories like this one. I can recall a different story every day.
To all the Gibbons' family and friends go my deepest feelings. I'll miss you Jeff.

Depending on when you met my brother, Jeffrey Gibbons, of Cape May you acquired an image of who he was. Some knew him as an attorney, some as a sailor, others as a surfer. But before all of that, he was my big brother. One of three of my older brothers, he was named after my paternal grandfather, Jeffrey Francis Gibbons. In school, he was three grades ahead of me.

Brother,

We're sad that your Ned left you so young.
We're sad that you couldn't return to the home you loved in Matlacha.

We're sad.

Love,
Anne Marie and Joe

By the time I arrived at the intensive care unit, the doctors were already informing you and Kim that...

Jeffrey:

As I told you during your eulogy, I will always think of you, but - because of that back-yard track meet we organized in grade school - you will be especially near whenever I read Housman’s poem “To An Athlete Dying Young.” It was all over so quickly.

Your Brother, Harry

We wanted the Gibbons family to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Jeff was a good man! We will you.

I was shocked and devastated to hear the news.My condolences go out to the whole family.So many wonderful memories of a great Cape May family.I'll never forget being stuck out on Stockton beach surf with Jeffrey and Stevie P. on my 16Th birthday.Time passes much too quickly.I will look to another horizon to see him again.Rest peacefully. Bob,Susan,David and Justin G.
