John "Paddy" Gibson (18 Jul 1944 - 28 Jan 2019)

My family and I would like to thank friends and relatives who travelled near and far to attend my husband Johnny's funeral. Many thanks also for all the letters,cards, flowers and donations, they were all greatly appreciated in our time of sorrow. Thanks also to the staff at waddington ward Lincoln county hospital for the care they gave Johnny over the last year. We would also like to thank the staff at the co-op funeral parlour for their kindness,care and professionalism. The donations amounted to £335, of which £130 has been donated to Bomber Command and £205 will be donated to Waddington Ward Lincoln county hospital staff and relatives room XX Liz, Andreana and Colleen xx

Sadly John crossed the bar on Monday 28th January 2019.

John was the Corporal movements NCO at RAF Luqa, Malta in the mid 70s. John had a high regard for the Royal Marines, so much so that he made Royal and families first in the queue whether it was indulgence flights or drafts all over the world. John was a regular participant at the Corporals club at St Andrews barracks where he made many friends. John leaves his wife Liz and daughters Andreanna and Colleen.

For those that remember John please join me in sending condolences to his family.

Rest in peace John, duty done.I

I've been refusing to write in this for to long now as I still don't believe you have gone.

I'm waiting for a phone call from nan to tell me your popping in for a wee cuppa to which you would sit back and enjoy watching your great - grandchildren with delight. I'm devastated your not going to watch them grow up but they both have an ever last memory off you which will stay fondly in my heart and be sang to them every day.

I miss you grandad and whilst these feeling are raw and heart breaking I know that in time we will be able to share happy tears, and everything will be just 'tickety-boo'.

Miss you so much
Your wee darling

RIP Dad. You were definetly one of a kind. Our family has a big peice of it missing now. I love you and I will miss you for the rest of my life.

Absolute pleasure to care for John for the year that I knew him, he kept so strong and kept his witty humour until the end. Thinking of you and love to you all x

Uncle Johnny, you will be sorely missed by all who knew you. You were one of a kind. Your passing has left another hole in our family. We will miss your banter and when we used to talk into the early hours everything you said was right even if it wasn't you would argue that it was.

Who will I pass my special 50p's onto now.

Missed so much by everyone who knew you.

Lots of love

Sharon, Thomas, T.J. & Alex xx

Thoughts and prayers are with Elizabeth and family circle at this sad time. May God wrap his loving arms around you all. Johnny it was a pleasure to have known you, rest in peace with the angels. Norma and Beth xx
