PROSPECT - Thomas Edward Gibbons, 69, passed away on March, 1, 2013, at Abbott Terrace Health Center surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of Margaret (Marrinan) Gibbons.

He ran his own business, Finak, for many years and then retired from Valspar Inc. where he worked as Technical Sales Director at the end of his career. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and was a collector for St. Anthony's Church for eight years.

Thomas was a true family man in every sense and enjoyed Sunday gatherings at his house.

He will also be missed by his eight grandchildren, Molly, Maggie and Tommy Gibbons, Conor, Emma and Riley Gibbons, Grace and Gavin Myers, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Mr. Gibbons' family would like to thank Dr. Drew Edwards, the staff at Abbott Terrace and everyone else who gave such special care to Thomas during his time of need.
