    Obituary:
    FA US NAVY

    HALLOWELL - Earl Russell Tibbetts, 86, of Hallowell, passed away peacefully while watching baseball with his son, Russ, Sunday July 24, 2016. He was born Nov. 29, 1929, in Rockwood, the son of Lester and Dorothy (Baston) Tibbetts. He attended school in Winthrop and as a young man, was a pitcher for a Maine League baseball team called the Tri-Corners. He also managed the bowling alley in downtown Winthrop, resetting all the pins by hand.

    Earl served in the U.S. Navy for two years. He was Golden Gloves in the Green Cove Boxing team in 1949.

    He married Sylvia Mae Hall July 4, 1959. He went to work at Bath Iron Works and was there for 40 years. After retiring from the "Yard" Earl delivered flowers for Berry & Berry Floral for 20 years, up to his 84th birthday. Customers would often ask for the "Older gentleman who does the little dance" to deliver their flowers.

    Earl knew every short cut in the state of Maine, some longer than others. He loved hunting and fishing. Earl and his brother, Alvin, would take Joshua, Jessica and Courtney fishing when they were very young. Earl spent most of his time retrieving hooks from the trees, including Alvin's. They never brought any fish home.

    Mr. Tibbetts enjoyed spending every second week of November "Upta" Camp Lester in Beddington with his sons, Earl Jr. "Tib" and Russ, brother, Lawrence and nephew, Peter. Their hunting party totaled more than the deer population. Earl looked forward to spending time with his family at Wednesday Night parties and for many years, breakfast with friends, Bob and Joyce Vickery at Hi-Hat Restaurant. He had a quick wit, an amazing sense of humor and a" He,He,He" laugh. He had the heart of a teddy bear and the handshake of a grizzly.

    Earl was predeceased by six brothers, Edgar, Oral, Richard, Alton, Alvin, Lester, Jr. and sister, Esther and son, Earl, Jr.

    He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sylvia; his children, Aurilla Holt and husband, John and son, Russ Tibbetts and Laura Fisher; his grandchildren, Joshua and Jessica Holt, Craig, Courtney, and Kyle Tibbetts, Cheryl Tibbetts, and Michelle Boucouvalis; great-grandchildren, Timika, Ian, Jacob, Emma, Alexis, Hunter and Jordan; his brother, Lawrence; sister, Thelma; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

    A graveside service will be held at the Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Mount Vernon Road in Augusta.

    Earl married Lorraine Grant on 18 Dec 1948 in Maine. Lorraine died in Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Winthrop-Lester "Tib" Alvin Tibbetts, Jr., passed away at Maine General Hospital on September 30, 2010 with his family at his side after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

    Tib was born in Winthrop on October 22, 1940, the youngest child of Lester A. and Dorothy Tibbetts.

    He attended the Winthrop School system and after finishing high school he went to work for Inmont Corp for 15 years until the plant closed. He then worked construction for a time on several job sites including the Winthrop Middle School. In 1977, Tib joined the Winthrop school system as a custodian, retiring 23 years later.

    Tib was an avid outdoorsman and throughout his life enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, golf, water-skiing, and a ?friendly? game of pool. When asked about hobbies, he would always reply "cutting wood." He loved NFL football and rarely missed a Patriots game. In his retirement years you could usually find him outdoors enjoying his "toys" which consisted of a backhoe, bulldozer, and his fleet of trucks. He always enjoyed traveling, going to camp at Moosehead, and spending his winters in Florida. He especially enjoyed all the get togethers with friends and family.

    He was predeceased by his parents, one sister, Esther Greene, brothers Oral, Richard, Alvin, and Alton, and grandson Jason Marston.

    Tib is survived by his wife of 50 years, Sandee Stone; three daughters, Wanda Goodwin and husband David from Gray, Nancy Hebert-Hall and husband Bob from South China, and Toni Marston and husband Brian from Winthrop; grandsons Justin Hebert of Jacksonville FL, PFC Matthew Hebert of Camp Johnson, NC, and Andrew Hall of CT; granddaughter Jamie Marston Olsen and husband PFC James Olsen of Camp Lejeune NC; great granddaughter Oshiana Fay Haines/Olsen; one sister, Themla Luszczki and husband Lucien of Winthrop;two brothers, Lawrence and wife Sandra of Sidney and Earl and wife Sylvia of Hallowell; several nieces and nephews.

    Family and friends are invited to gather together to celebrate Tib's life on Sunday, October 3, 2010 from 1-4 p.m. at his home on the Annabessacook Road in Winthrop and on Monday, October 4, 2010 from 5-7 p.m.at Roberts Funeral Home, 62 Bowdoin Street, Winthrop.

    The family requests that memorial donations in Tib's memory be made to the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care, P O Box 828, Waterville, ME 04903-0828.
