Growing up in Indian River, I have many good memories of the Whibbs family. I especially recall playing games with "Mark and Bobby" when they were little, at their great aunts' house which was next door to our house. Sincere sympathies Mark, Robert and families. Also, sympathies to Margaret, Mary, and Terry.

Marg, I am sending heartfelt condolences to you and your family. As we get older it is a particular kind of loss when our siblings pass. I didn’t know Gus personally, but I was touched to hear that he was a special member of St Michael’s parish where I spent my young years in the parish and the school. Blessings to you and yours old friend. Anne.

Sorry about Gus , he was always a gentleman ! The music scene will miss him !

I remember Gus over many years always a gentle loving presence at St. Michael’s parish. So generous with his amazing beautiful musical talents. I loved to see him join in so many different groups, bands & I so enjoyed & will always remember him, his quiet presence, smiling eyes & heavenly music. Rest in peace & I am sure you are enjoying all the talent Heaven provides.

On behalf of my children, Don and myself we send our sincerest condolences on the passing of your father, Gus. Gus was a true gentleman that I had the pleasure of having a few conversations with and sharing some laughs with. May he rest in eternal peace with your beloved mother, Evelyn.

Our sincere condolences to Mark and Bob and their families during this difficult time. Our family has many memories of Gus while living on Beaupre Avenue. He always had a story to tell and would make up stories and adventures for all the neighbourhood kids. We also have many fond memories of time spent with the Whibbs family on Stoney Lake. Gus and Lynn were wonderful neighbours and friends. Rest in peace Gus Eva, Mark and Lisa Stogwin

My Uncle Gus was a kind and creative soul. I remember many summers spent with him and my Aunt Lynn at the lake. Of course, all my cousins and wonderful Aunts and Uncles would join in the festivities! Fun boat rides, BBQ's and swimming in the lake! I distinctly remember one time getting out of the lake, only to find a few leeches on my leg! Everyone was scrambling to find a way to get them off...beer, lit cigarettes, soda; finally a sprinkle of salt did the trick! But it was his love of music, integrity, stories of old Indian River and his wise yet gentle nature that tied us all together during those priceless, fun and humid summers. Memories we can all look back on with joy, gratitude, appreciation and the true sense of the word, "family". Much Love, Erin Gordon

With sincere condolences to you Mark, Bob and all of your families during this most sad and difficult time. There are so many fond memories growing up as neighbours on Beaupre Ave. Gus (&Lynn) were wonderful, kind, fun and always so friendly to all. I remember working with Gus at GM in the paint shop when I was a student. But, most of all I’ll always remember years ago camping at Stoney Lake when with great persistence, Gus taught me how to water ski! What fun we all had when our families spent time together all those years ago. Mark & Bob, your parents are now reunited and may they both rest in peace. Troy & Cindy Carlson (Schlechter)

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Gus. He was a friend of mine for more that fifty years. A wonderful honest person, a very talented musician who never had a bad word to say about any body. I was fortunate enough to have Gus play his bass with me on many jobs. We will miss him terribly. God will cherish him.

In respect of the passing Gus Whibbs, during this time of bereavement I offer my words of condolence to his immediate and extended family. Sorry to learn his life's journey on earth has ended. Though, "to live in the hearts of all those left behind is not to die" Robert (Bob) LaFreniere, formerly of Indian River. While I was acquainted with most of the Whibbs family, I was associated mostly with the late John.

Gus and Lyn were a fabulous and welcoming couple that we had the pleasure to meet several times -probably every time we came over to Canada, we have many lovely memories with them. Gus has now joined that ever growing band in heaven that has many fabulous musicians with Lyn supporting as ever! Sending love and condolences to the whole family from the UK 🇬🇧 Kate & Paul

Please accept our most sincere condolences. We’re very saddened with Gus’ passing. He was our next door neighbor for the last 5 years and one could not ask for a better one than Gus!

We were neighbours for several years, and you couldn’t ask for better ones than Gus and Lynn. Our short visit with Gus this past summer was meant to be. After all these years, he remembered all of our children, and all of their names. Our condolences to the family.

Gus and I played ball on the same team in 1958 and 1959. Lynn, Gus, my wife Vera and I have remained friends ever since. We always enjoyed the visits and upbeat conversations over these many years. We treasure those many memories. We miss you both. Peace, good buddy. Condolences to Bob, Mark and all the family. Roy and Vera McMillan, Guelph.
