I rememember my grandpa was always my best friend. Many people always said we shared looks. I remember no matter how much pain he was in he was always able to share love. I remember taking a picture of him outside the temple and i didnt even have to tell him to smile. He was so sweet and my biggest role model. I miss you grandpa, I cant wait to see you agian.
I remember Brother Ted very well. My sister and I had the honor of going on a tour to Nauvoo with Ted. We had so many spiritual moments on that trip, especially the trip to Carthage Jail. I became so close to Brother Ted and I learned to love him because of his kind manner and caring way. I was in touch with him briefly about ten years ago and was so impressed because he remembered me on that tour which had to have been about fifteen years ago. I know that Brother Ted is happy and with his family now but I will surely miss him all my life (remaining) and I think of him often and often and often, and often. My best wishes go to his family and all those who new and loved him. Such a great loss can never be replaced.

Years ago, I had the privilege of having my young children receive childcare from Lydia. They loved both her and Ted so much and looked forward to being dropped off each morning. He was incredibly patient with them and made sure they loved the Lord and appreciated forever families. Ted will certainly be missed. Hugs and love to you Lydia and family.
Lydia,
I was so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family.

I began my association with Ted as he was a mission leader in Brazil. Later we became Seminary and Institute associates. I can't remember seeing him without a smile on his face. He loved to teach and was a great example to many of us who wanted to teach with the same enthusiasm he taught with. Our faith and prayers and best wishes to the family. David and Bonnie Campbell
Ted Gibbons was one of the great mentors in my career and life! I loved his teaching and training - but most of all I loved his example of Christlike living and his tender, sweet compassion for others. He was as good and loyal of a friend as anyone could ask for. He was always lifting, encouraging, inspiring, and strengthening others. I will always treasure my memories and friendship with "my brother Ted."

Ted and I were colleagues in the Church Educational System. He was a hero to many students and also fellow teachers. He was a devoted human being serving as an instrument in the hands of God. Josh and Kim are our neighbors. God bless them during this time of grief, but also joy at a life well lived!
Brother Gibbons was my Seminary teacher at the Pleasant Grove Seminary. I requested to be in his class each year because he wasn't just an entertainer. He was a teacher. I enjoyed his classes very much and learned a great deal. He inspired me many times. I am thankful to him for his ministry to me.

Ted was, and is, a "one in a Million!" My life was very blessed by his wonderful faithful example and his kind and warm friendship! Heaven is now an even more shining place for us all! May the Lord bless and keep this wonderfully good man and his beloved family!

I believe there are not many men greater than this who have walked this earth. I am so blessed to call him my uncle and my friend. May the Lord's richest blessing be with Lydia and their family. We will see Ted again healthy and strong. I love you Gibbons family.
