Harvey Glenn "Hoot" Gibson
Harvey Glenn Gibson, forever know as: “Hoot†age 80, of Henderson, NV passed
away on January 31, 2015. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on August 6, 1934
to Harvey Arthur Gibson and Arlene Rose Peterson Gibson. He honorably served his
country in the United States Marines Corps. He had a strong personality and a
kind and generous spirit. Hoot flew as a Captain for TWA.
Flying was a passion of his and is where his nickname of "Captain Hoot" came
from. Others would say that Hoot could fly anything, even a box. He loved being
up in the air; he enjoyed sky diving, working as a flight instructor, and taking
friends for rides. He took all the children of the neighborhood and he taught to
fly. He was an amazing story teller and loved to tell stories of his days as
working as a crop duster and a undercover narcotics agent. Along with his story
telling he was very quick witted which always keep his friends on their toes and
laughing.
Hoot is survived by his life partner Lois Tribett of Henderson NV; four
children: John Gibson of Florida, Ron Gibson of Illinois, Kevin Gibson of
Illinois, Ron George of Illinois; sister Marilyn Belman of Iowa and Brother Ron
Gibson of Iowa.
