William H. Gibson

To the Gibson Family, We are grieving with you as we heard of Bill's passing. He was such a great friend to both of us in high school, as we shared the passion for percussion and bands. Of course we remember him as "Henry," the name which we gave him so that we wouldn't end up speaking with Bill Sr. when we called the house. We also remember his brilliance in remembering every song that ever was played (with the writer, performer and year) and the many great times at band camp. We will be...

My sincere condolences go out to the Gibson family,

Earlier this week I was shocked to hear about the passing of Bill Gibson, my high school band director. Recently I have found myself, reminiscing about the years spent as a student in Bill’s music program. It’s funny that while you’re young, someone’s impact on your life can be so subtle as not to recognize its importance. In the end, it would be hard to imagine myself as a musician today, without Bill Gibson’s influence. ‘Gib’, as...

Bill was very special to us. Not only was he a mentor, friend, and colleague of our son's, he also was a good friend to us and an important part of our dixieland band. When Bill played with us, we always sounded better.
Bill was a superb musician and an inspired teacher. He touched so many lives, and will live on in the many wonderful memories we all have.
To all the family, especially Jill, Michael, & Peter, thank you for sharing him with us all these years. Our thoughts and prayers...

To The Gibson Family…..

I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Gibson was a very great teacher and a friend to many. His heart was filled with gold and his spirit lit the darkest room. His concerts were always so fabulous and inspiring. When you went into the auditorium for the Holiday Concert, you could only expect the best and nothing less than that. Mr. Gibson will be dearly missed but his soul will always be in the music that he so passionately loved. You and your family are in...

To Bill and his family;

Bill was my high school and college percussion teacher and was a tremendous influence on my career. I am now a band director and carry so many of the things he taught me not only about percussion, but about what it means to teach. He was always so excited about music! That's what I will remember about him. My thoughts are with his family, especially Jill and the boys.

To the Gibson family...

I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Gibson's passing. He was a great teacher and a great friend. He did so much for me in high school and he'll always be one of my fondest memories of those years.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. Gibson:

You will never know how much you inspired my musical talents. I was lucky enough to have one of the most phenomenal music teachers I could ever have teach me the gift of song through the flute and vocals. You will forever be missed, however, you will live on through each and every soul you touched with the magic of music. I hope you are in a better place now and I pray for your family you had to leave behind. Thank you for everything. Love Sarah

Jill & family,

Gib was such an important part of so many lives. He will be missed by many. We were very saddened to hear of his passing. Peace be with you & your family in this time of sorrow.

To Gib-

You were my friend and my mentor for the last 7 years. I was so heartbroken to hear of your passing. You are forever in my heart and I love you for who you are and for believing in me. Thank you for all that you taught me. I will soon be a music teacher and it is all becuase of you, so thank you for all you gave me.

To Jill and the boys, and the Gibson family:

Gib was truly an inspiration and I know that you are proud. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
