November 9, 1946 - September 14, 2020
Hibberd, Anthony John (Tony) passed away peacefully at home on September 14th with his loving wife at his side. He was born November 9, 1946 in Manchester, England and immigrated to the Comox Valley with his family in 1953. After marriage in 1974, he moved to Ladysmith to raise his family and returned to the Comox Valley for his retirement years.
He will be sadly missed but leaves so many great memories for Shirley, sons Jason and Alex, wonderful daughter-in-law, Eleni and, most importantly, his adored grandchildren, Ayla and Chase. He will always be fondly remembered by a multitude of family and friends. Given our current circumstances no service will be held.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is the journey that we must take
And each must go alone
It's all a step in the master plan
A step on the road home
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go
- An excerpt from 'Let Me Go' by Christine Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894)
