Rodney Gibson

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my good friend Rod Gibson. Rod and I had a four piece band that played every Saturday nite for many years at the Flamingo in Sheboygan. My wife and I visited Rod a number of times in Bradenton, FL. I know Rod is in good hands in Heaven. I am sure he will organize a great musical group and/or concert band in Heaven first chance he gets. Our Prayers are with Rods family.

He will be missed by all of us at the Manatee Ave Branch of Hancock Bank.

Mr. Gibson was a big part of my life in high school and helped me to continue music study at Lawrence University and now have been a band director for 35 years. I still quote some of his class room declarations to my students in the Newtown High School Band!

John and family I am sorry for your loss. Your Dad was one of my favorite teachers at North High 73-75. He was a great leader and obviously enjoy teaching. I will always remember him. Take care.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time. Mr. Gibson had to have been the most fabulous music teacher that I could have ever had the honor of being taught by. He was my teacher at North High from 83 - 85. He was instrumental in helping us to organize the Dixieland band called the Swinging Six. I was a member of his jazz ensemble and loved all of the challenges that he put in front of us. He pushed us to become absolutely perfect at what everything we performed. ...
