Willis Gabbitas Obituary
Bruce was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Wilvan and Andrew Bruce Gabbitas. He proudly attended Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, and the University of Michigan for his BA and MBA. Bruce spent his retirement pursuing his loves of travel and golf with his longest love, Bari. We will long remember his dedication to his family and friends, and we know he still remembers the 79 he shot earlier this year.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Bari Gabbitas, his daughters, Andrea Hall of Reston, Virginia, and Michelle Gabbitas, of Baltimore, Maryland, and two grandchildren, Caleigh and Brayden Hall.
A visitation will be held at Fox & Weeks, 7200 Hodgson Memorial Drive, Savannah, Georgia, from 3 to 5 pm on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests you consider a donation in Bruce's memory to Landlovers or the Skidaway Village Public Library.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We met Bruce and Bari at a New Neighbors golf event. We then had the pleasure of playing golf with them on other occasions. What a lovely couple. Bruce was always smiling. With deepest sympathies. Jan and Mark Rosenbaum
