VETERNAN OF 10TH H.A. PASSES AWAY

Perry Vebber, Aged 71 Years, Dies Near Evans Mills

Evans Mills, July 19. - Perry Vebber, aged 71 years, died early Friday evening at his home about a mile from this village, following an illness of two years duration. He had been failing gradually. Friday afternoon at he suffered a paralytic stroke and a short time later was the victim of another shock. He died at 7 p.m.

Mr. Vebber was a native of northern New York and spent his boyhood in this part of the country when the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery was organized he enlisted and served in nearly every battle the regiment was in. He was a good soldier and was elevated to the rank of sergeant in Company C. For a time he was assigned to detached services and assisted in drilling recruits in Ohio regiments. He later returned to the Tenth and served with them until the end of the war.

He returned to northern New York after the close of the war, going west in 1868. For several years he ran a farm in the west and part of the time was in business for himself running a store.

A few years later he returned to northern New York and for many years made his home in Evans Mills. He was employed for a time as a stone cutter. Of late years his health had been such that he was not able to work.

Sergeant Vebber was a member of the Capt. Chauncey Wilkie Post, G. A. R., at Evans Mills. Failing health did not permit his going to Gettysburg to attend the ??rest reunion.

Mr. Vebber was a Democrat in politics and had adhered closely to that party during his life. He was well known in the village and had a large circle of friends. Whether or not the post of which he was a member will attend the funeral services in a body is not known as yet, but it is believed that they will.

There survive his wife, and two children, Mark Vebber and Miss Ada Vebber, both of Evans Mills. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Almeda Daynard, also of this village.

Announcement of the time of funeral will be made later. 		Vebber Perry

1204 "To Gidron Sallonstal Esq. Judge of the Court of probate for one of the Districts of the County of New London Greeting

These may Certifi that Thomas Viber of New London Son to William Viber Deceased now in his fifteenth year personally appeared before me the Sixth Day of April 1753 and made choice of his grandfather Mr. John Veber of New London to be his gardian.

Joshua Raymond - Justice Peace

Mr. Viber is appointed Gardian to Thos. Viber

To Clerk of Probate
N.L. district

N.L. April 8, 1754"

No record has come to hand as to whether Thomas married. However, a Thomas Vibber is listedin the 1790 census and the following information with regards to his household:
3 Free White Males of 16 Years and Upward (Including head of family)
2 Free White Males under 16 Years
5 Free White females

Sometime between 1790 and 1800 the entire family left New London County, as no further record of this family can be found in any census from 1800 to 1850.

In the section on John II and John III it was noted that no John was listed in the 1790 census of New London County. But a Thomas was listed as shown above. The theory of the move by John II and JohnIII to Buckland or Charlemont, MA is further enlarged to include the theory that Thomas also moved to that area. The following death notice, tends to strengthen the theory:

"Veber, Abner, ae 70 yrs., 7 mos., 20 days, widower, farmer, b New London, Conn; d. old age at Charlemont, 27 Nov., 1859."

Not that Abner Veber would necessarily be the son of Thomas, but a connection between New London and Buckland and Chlaremont does seem to exist. Aletter to New London regarding the birth of Abner Veber or Vibber was kindly responded to, but New London has no record of Abner being born there.

The dates of deaths (probably NY State) of Thomas, or his wife Mercy is not known.

"Guilliam's references to Thomas Vibber are in Colchester Deeds; 5 Nov. 1764, Thomas and Mercy Vibber of New London, CT., for L20, Sold to Benjamin Randall of Colchester, CT., all the rights and interests they had in a track of land in Colchester, containing 31 acres purchased by Lemuel Fitch of Samuel Meacham, and adjoining Fitch's farm."

"5 May 1789, Thomas Vibber and Mercy his wife, of Colchester, for L70, conveyed to Lemuel Fitch Vibber, Anne Vibber, and Sally Vibber (all of Colchester,) all the Grantor's right in the land which belonged to the Grantor's Brother Mr. Daniel Fitch of Colchester, deeded which, had descended to Mercy (Mary) Vibber, as heir to said deceased."

"5 July 1799, Thomas Vibber and Mercy, his wife sold to Hezekiah Abel, four acres and 24 rods of land in Colchester, lying by Norwich Road, near Deep River, which they had derived from the estate of Lemuel Fitch; and also to John and Timothy Tenant, two pieces of land in Colchester, derived from the estate. Also, on the same day, to Ransford Comstock, about 39 acres in Colchester, with dwelling house and barn adjoining the above."

1224 from a family member johngin

I found that Daniel bought land in Saline Mich on Aug 20 1835.
A David Viber purchased land in Saline on Oct 6 1835.
Daniel Vibber bought 20 acres in section 33 next to this David.
The records show that this David was from Genesee County ,NY. Daniel shows that he was alread y residing in Saline when he bought his land. I feel that he was living with David for th e 3 months. Mary was born in 1831 in Ny but do you know what County?
I had Daniel Vibber's first wife's name as Ruth. I found Ruth from the Mich Land Records.
From the deeds:
Lib V.188. Recorded 18 Oct 1844. Made 7 Nov 1834. Daniel Viber and Ruth his wife of Salin e to Hiram Storey Whiting of York. NW4 of NE4 Sec 33 of 4 South 5 East, 40a. Wits: John Lawre nce, J.P., MaryA.L. Lawrence. (I forgot to copy $.)

Lib Y.196. Recorded 15 Apr 1847. Mde 23 Nov 1846. Daniel Viber and Alice his wife of Salin e to Oliver Rhoades same place. $1200.00. Complicated description I did not copy. It does m ention the southside of Sec 33, road running from Saline to Tecumseh where it crosses the Co unty line between Washtenaw and Lenawee. "104 acres more or less." Excepting mortgage. Wits : Joseph Howell J.P., J.H. Webb. Co. of Lenawee.

Going by the 1840 and 1850 census. We can see that in 1833 Mary was born in NY. A year late r John was born in Michigan. Plus of course we can see them in the 1840 census.It appears tha t Ruth and the children were there in 1840.

Holt C. Jack Vibber

WATERFORD - Holt C. "Jack" Vibber, of 5 Soljer Drive, Waterford died Tuesday, December 9th at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London.

Born March 23, 1914, the son of Wheeler and Almeida (Cowles) Vibber.

He was a lifelong resident of New London and Waterford. He graduated from Chapman Tech High School in 1932. He served honorably in the U.S. Navy during W.W. II while stationed in New York as a carpenters mate lst class. It was during this time that he married Virginia Barbera in June, 1943, at the Staten Island Naval Base. After he left military service in 1946, he was employed for thirty-seven years by Northeast Utilities, working as a foreman in the overhead and underground distribution department.

Besides his wife, he is survived by his three sons; Van Vibber and his wife Julie Shular of Malibu, California; Jaxon Vibber of Gales Ferry; and Kurt Vibber of Waterford. He was predeceased by his brothers Howland and Royce and his sisters Leona, Genesta and Winita.

Jack was a remarkably dynamic individual who had a major influence on many lives. More significant is that he was such a quietly effective person due to his gentle good nature and endearing simplicity. Jack was known by many and his good reputation preceded him all along the eastern coast from Connecticut to Maine.

He had been involved with boats practically all his life, working on sailing barges in his early years, restoring or repairing vessels such as Friendship Sloops (Ancient Mariner, aka Tern), MuscongusSloops, Beetle Cats and other catboats, smacks, and Herreshoff Bullseyes. He was a charter member in 1929 of the Ship Model Makers Club International. Jack was an active and contributing member to many boating associations, notably Mystic Seaport Museum, U.S. Power Squadrons and the local New London Power Squadron, The Catboat Society, and the Noank Wooden Boat Association. He was also was a member of the Thames Yacht Club, a plank owner in the American

Schooner Society, and, most especially, a well-recognized advocate for the Friendship Sloop Society.

In the 1980s, Jack gathered a number of Friendship Sloop owners and enthusiasts to plan for a racing event during the New London Sailfest weekend. What started over twenty years ago continues as an annual rendezvous and cruise originating in New London. He had volunteered and worked on organizing committees for OPSail 2000, waterfront activities in New London such as Boats, Books and Brushes, andthe Sailfest planning board.

Jack involved himself in local affairs and civic organizations as well. Long enjoying baseball, he was a founding member in 1953 of Waterford Little League North. He even started up a band of L.L. players and was manager of the "Lumberjacks." He was a founding member of Oswegatchie Fire Department, having served as foreman and drillmaster of firefighters. Additionally, he earned a life membershipin the Cohanzie Fire Department. He was a member of the member of New London Elks, Lodge 360, where he and his wife were often noted for their elegance, energy and enthusiasm on the dance floor. As for music, Jack was quite knowledgeable of jazz and was very capable of calling a good square dance as well.

A funeral tribute will be held 11:00 AM Thursday at the Byles Memorial Home, 99 Huntington St., New London, CT. Burial will follow in Cedar Grove Cemetery, New London. In lieu of flowers, donations in Mr. Vibber's name may be made to the Friendship Society's Pendelton Memorial Scholarship Fund, do The Friendship Sloop Society, P.O. Box 279, Friendship, ME 04547 or a charity of choice.

An Ode to Jack Vibber

Jack, a long time member of TYC, was active in many of the activities of the Club. He enjoyed sailing, messing about boats, building or repairing boats, helping about the Club and building flagpoles.Some of you may have not known Jack, but he was a delightful and cheerful person always willing to lend a hand.

Some of his handiwork contributions to TYC include the two falgpoles that anchor the two corners of our upper deck. His carefully crafted wind vanes continue to indicate the fickle nature of the varied wind directions about the Clubhouse. Jack created the Queen Merry signboard that adorns our race headquarters. Jack was a regular member of the race committee every Wednesday evening either aboard the Queen or the Intrepid for many years. Jack never let us forget the Wednesday night that the former Queen almost sank when one of the flotation pontoons became disconnected and sailed itself downriver. This of course enabled the RC mast to land in the water. It was an interesting night to say the least.

Jack owned a Friendship sloop for a while and was instrumental in getting TYC to host an annual rendezvous and race for the Friendship Sloops. What a sight it was to see several of these delightful and graceful craft racing in our river. The rendezvous continue annually at TYC, but with a few less particpants than in past years. We suspect that this is because Jack is not around to help with their preservation.

Wednesday evenings were not his only sojourn with sailing. On Thursdays, Jack campaigned his Beetle Cat on the Mystic River. I had the pleasure of crewing for him on several occasions and we had a great time; even winning a few races.

Jack passed away on the 9th of December. He will be missed.

1260 Died of Typhoid, after returning to CT. to take care for Dr. Wm., who died of Typhoid, also in CT.

Salmon, Horace's father was appointed executor of the estate, posting a bond on 15 November, 1875 and completing the inventory on 23 November, 1875.

On July15, 1876 a $6,000 bond was posted in Montville, and again in 1885 (December 23) by Mary J. Vibber. On July 15, 1876, the court appointed her guardian to william Horace Vibber aged two years and Florence Baxter Vibber aged 4 weeks, "children of Mary J. Vibber and Horace C. Vibber". On October 23, 1877 she presented a bill to the court for the cost of care for the children. 		Vibber Horace Champion
 
1261 "A man of honor and integrity."

Howard Champlin Vibber, at the age of 16 years, went to Worcester, MA on his bicycle, "with one suit of clothes and $5.00 in his pocket", to find work. He went to the home of his uncle John Champlin and Aunt Emma (Bishop) Champlin, (and two male cousins about his age), near Harrington-Richardson Arms Co., where his Uncle John found him his first job in Worcester. As Howard Champlin said, he laterfound that all "good" jobs were held by men from Worcester Polytechnic Institute; thereby came his wish that his sons attend W.P.I. (which two did).

After his marriage he opened a general store in Jamesville (area of Auburn-Worcester, MA). Later, after selling the store, he went into building-contracting and real estate, in which he was successful.

Howard Champlin Vibber, as remembered by his son, Foster, was a quiet, dignified "Father Figure" to his tenants, and his neighbors in Jamesville, who sought his advice and help on many occasions. Twopoint in his time are remembered; one, when newspapers of Worcester carried the controversy that the name of the "Village" should be changed to "South Vibber"; secondly, when he was asked to run for selectman in Auburn, and turned down his bid. Howard was not known to set foot in a church; if however, the local Baptist Church was in financial trouble, his help was sought and always forthcoming. His neighbor and life-time friend, Samuel Flagg Bemis, later became a professor at Yale.

Howard Champlin Vibber died December 19, 1936 in Maple Hall, Worcester, MA. The cause was recurrence of hypernephroma in situ, where six years previously his kidney had been removed.

Mary Addie Lane died July 12, 1944 in St. Petersburg FL (a month after her second marriage to Charles Mueller from Ohio), and is buried in Royal Palm Cemetery in St. Petersburg, FL. Cause of Death was a massive coronary. She did not live more than an hour and one half in the hospital.

There were no further records for John (II) and family in New London COunty, except those already give. The census records for New London County were checked for the period 1790 to 1850m but no John Vibber appeared.

However, in the general New England search, a Veber (Vibber) appeared ina listing for the town of Buckland, Mass. Correspondence resulted in the receipt of the attached will, which raises many questions:

1. The statement from Baker and the Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut 1772-1775

"This Assembly do establish John Viber junior to be Ensign of the 7th Company, or Train Band in the Town of New London".

John (I) had died (1770) leaving John (II) and John (III). Could the John junior then be John (III)?

2. The will names children John, Joanna and Anna and mentions four grandchildren in Connecticut. Baker states the John (II) died in 1779. The will was written and executed in 1782. Could John (II) have moved to Buckland and later in 1779 have decided to sell his land in Montville? And could Baker, from land records have assumed that the selling of this land occurred at John (II) death?

Therefore the

(LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT)

In the Name of God, Amen:
I John Vibber of Shelburne in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts being thro the abundant mercy and goodness of God, tho week in body, yet of a sound and perfect understanding and memory, Do constitute this my last will and testament and desire it may be viewed by all as such: First I most humbly bequeath my soul to God my Maker, beseeching his most gracious acceptance of it, through the all sufficient merits and mediation of my most Compassionate Redeemer Jesus Christ, who gave himself to be atonement for my sins, and is able to save the uttermost all that come unto Godby him, Seeing he ever liveth to make Intersession for them and who, I trust will not reject me a Returning Penitant Sinner, when I come to him for mercy: in this Hope and Confidence I render up my Soul with Comfort, humbly beseeching the most Blessed and Glorious trinity one God most holy, most Mercifull and gracious to prepare me for the time of my Dissolution, and then to take me to himself into that Peace and Rest, and incompareable felicity, which he has prepared for all that Love and fear his holy name, Amen. Blessed be god, I give my body to the Earth from whence it was taken in full assurance of its resurrection from thence at the Last Day, as for my Burial I Desire it may be Decent without pomp or State, at the Discetion of my Executor hereafter named, whi O Doubt not, will manage it with Requisett Prudence, as to my worldly estate, I will positively order that all my debts be Paid; First I give to my Dear and Loving wife for the Term of her Life one third of my Real Estate together with one third of the Use of all my monies on Interesst, after her Decease to Return the Remainder to my Son John and Daughter Anna at her Decease.

(signed) Eben. Porter

Therefore, the question remains - Is this the will of John (II)?

A search of New London records was made for a will, church record, vital record or newspaper notice of the death of John (II), his wife Amy, and marriage or death records for John (III) Joanna and Anna. Nothing has come to hand.

The theory of John (II)'s move to Buckland, Mass. was further encouraged by some pencilled names and dates of death in Baker's section of the Comstock family had added notations in Baker's book showing that some of the branches of the Comstock family had died in Buckland and Charlemont, Mass.

Further information was sought in Buckland and Charlemont and surrounding area in Massachusetts. Unfortunately a fire in the late 1800's destroyed the Buckland records. The book "History of the Town of Buckland" yields very little more. However, it will prove an excellent source of information for another branch of the Vibber family if an actual connection can be made.

1277 The first mention of John Vibber I is in the records of the town of New London, CT, where in 1711 he married Johanna Williams. The entry reads as follows: "Vibber, John of Groton, married Joanna Williams of New London, Aug. 9, 1711."

Johanna appears to have been the twin sister of William Williams, who was born approximately 1684. She is believed to have been the daughter of Thomas Williams and Johanna ___________. Henry A. Bakerin his History of Montville, Connecticut, attempts to carry the Williams line back to the father of Thomas - Robert of Roxbury, MA.

It seems that at some time, perhaps at Johanna's death or in a parish genealogy, the date of John Vibber's birth was entered in the church records, and that entry reads as follows: "Viber, John, b. Oct. 24, 1689; m. Johanna Williams. She d. Jan. 9, 1754; she b. 168(5)"

John Vibber married secondly, Marion (Hurlburt) Baker, the widow of Joshua Baker. A prenuptual agreement was made between John and Miriam (Marion) (Hurlburt) Baker to leave certain items to her should he die first.

On April 18th, 1761, John Vibber made out his will and refers in the will to the prenuptual agreement. The will was executed on May 5th, 1770. John Vibber Died probably between January and May of 1770.

John Vibber first appears as an inhabitant of New London North Parish in 1711. He, with his wife, were on the list of members who organized the first church in the parish in 1722. Previous to their settlement in the North Parish, they appear in Groton, where he was an inhabitant.

In February., 1741 John Vibber exchanged farms with George Hill. The farm then owned by Mr. Vibber was the same afterwards owned by George Hill, and which descended to his son Jonathan and grandson Charles, and on which latter lived and his death.

The farm then owned by George Hill and which was exchanged with Mr. Vibber was the same afterwards owned by his grandson Nathaniel, lying on the Norwich road, and has since been called the "Vibber Place." John Vibber the first was born Oct., 1689, and married 19 July, 1711, Jonathan Williams, born about 1685, daughter of ______________.

He was a farmer and a landholder of considerable note in his day. He was active in the affairs of the church, and held offices of honor and trust in the church and town. His wifem Johanna, died 9 Jan., 1754. He then married, 8 May, 1754, Mariam Baker, widow of Joshua Baker.

Mr. John Vibber was one of the early settlers in North Parish and owned large tracts of land in various localities in the parish. He was one of the many land speculators that in those early times made it their special business to trade in Iand. On the 17th day of January, 1716-17, John Vibber conveyed by deed a small tract of land containing fifty acres to Colonel John Livingston, the same havingbeen conveyed to John Vibber by Samuel Comstock in 1713. This land was situated on the Saw Mill Brook Cove " commencing at Cold Spring, thence by and adjoining the road from Norwich to New London until it comes to a white oak stump upon a knoll by the said road; thence a west line to the common land; thence beginning at the first bound, viz.: the north bound and from the said road to run due westto common land, together with the right of dower of his wife, Johanna Vibber." The 27th day of February, 1740-1, George Hill and John Vibber exchanged farms, George Hill conveying the farm on which he then lived to John Vibber in the following manner: To all People to whom these presents shall come, Greeting: Know ye that I, George Hill, of the Town of New London, in New London County and State of Connecticut, for the consideration of four hundred pounds, and also certain tract of land with the appurtenances thereof which I have received of and from my father-in-law, Mr. John Vibber, of said New London, do hereby give, grant, bargain, sell and convey unto the said John Vibber, all that my farm or tract of land where I now dwell, with the buildings and fences thereon, containing one hundred and sixty (160) acres.

The society agreed to pay a salary of one hundred pounds, so long as he should continue their minister. April 30, 1722, the society passed n vote annexing the south part of Colehester and the north part of Lyme to the North Parish, and that a convenient site be agreed upon, as near the center of the parish as practicable on which to erect a meeting-house.

1284 Faith Matters - Tribute to Dr. Vibber

Fowler, Col.-

Tibute to a Job Well Done
by Don Sniff
Pastor, Fowler Christian Church

Psa 90:12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
With the passing of such an able administrator as Dr. Larry Vibber, I reflect on the brevity of life. The prophet Job tells us that our days fly by ‘faster than a weaver’s shuttle’, and no matter howfew or how many days have been allotted to us, “our days on earth are as a shadow.”

I spoke with Dr. Vibber often when our paths crossed, and urged him almost every single time, to retire and thus reduce the stress in his life. I wanted Dr. Vibber to retire, not because he wasn’t doing a good job, but because I had watched the ailment which finally claimed Dr. Vibber’s life claim the life of my mother, and I hoped that he might enjoy many more years without the debilitating effects of his ailment. I had seen what stress did in my mother’s life, and I knew what stress would do in Dr. Vibber’s life as well, and running a school district has its stresses. But Dr. Vibber was foremost an administrator…it was his calling in life. And let me add for all to read, I am proud of the public school system in Fowler, Colorado, and it exists in its present excellent condition because the captain of the ship piloted it through decades of administrative weather. Dr. Vibber did his job, and he did it well. I had hoped that he might be able to enjoy, in retirement, the well-deserved fruit of his labors, but the Lord in Heaven had His plan. As King David said, “All the days ordained for me were written in Your Book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16). So the number of days ordained for Larry Vibber came to their appointed end, and he has gone to his reward. Let’s all reflect on two things: First, thank God that in His providence, He gave Fowler, Colorado, such a proficient school superintendent for such a long period, and second, let’s all reflect on how short our lives are, and work at our callings with the same diligence that Larry Vibber did in his calling. A job well done…

Community honors Dr. Larry Vibber

Fowler, Colo. -

A public memorial service was held Saturday afternoon at Fowler High School Gym in honor of Dr. Larry Vibber. The longest serving public school superintendent in the nation, Vibber passed away July 25 at his home in Fowler.

Vibber was remembered for his 47 years of dedication to the school and community as well as his genuine love for family members, friends and those he worked with. “Dr. Vibber was a friend regardless of how you knew him,” said Willis Lowther, former Fowler School District administrator, adding, “He loved his family and talked about them and their accomplishments all the time.”

Vibber's grandchildren shared family memories ranging from days spent together on the golf course to weekly phone calls updating him on their activities. Granddaughter Lindsey said, “We didn't want this story to come to an end, but it did. Grandpa went to the Lord smiling.”

Vibber's impact on the community as a whole was also recognized. “Fowler is a place where success is as common as washing your hands...I think he had everything to do with that,” stated Sandra Moss, Fowler coach and teacher. “We would do well to continue in the ways of Dr. Vibber.”

After asking the crowd to stand and applaud Vibber's life, Pastor Wayne Josephson, Trinity Lutheran Church, Fowler, opened his message saying, “The life of Dr. Vibber is living proof the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-10) are very realistic.” Josephson went on to encourage the school board as they seek a new superintendent, “Look for someone grounded in the Beatitudes and the truth.”

“Dr. Vibber committed his life to the call he received as a faithful educator here in Fowler,” stated Josephson. “He cared about the school, the staff and every student.”

The general atmosphere at Saturday's memorial might best be summed up in the words of Lowther, “Dr. Vibber we love you, Dr. Vibber we thank you, and Dr. Vibber you will be remembered.”

Fowler Superintendent Larry Vibber dies

Fowler, Colo. -

For the first time since 1961 Fowler School District faces the beginning of a new school year without the guiding presence of dedicated superintendent, Dr. Larry Vibber.

Vibber, 76, superintendent at Fowler for 47 years, passed away at his home Saturday
morning, July 25.

It is, perhaps, Vibber's dedication which will forever define the memories of a legendary era in the community's history. Fowler High School coach and teacher, Sandra Moss, says, “If you ever wanted to see a man bleed purple and gold, it would be him. Dr. Vibber was the epitome of class and pride. He was a stoic man and though, through the last few years had lost some physical strength, his innerstrength and convictions never wavered.”

“He was one of a kind and will never be forgotten in Fowler,” adds Steven Grasmick, principal at Fowler Elementary.

Beginning his career at Stratton High School as a science teacher and principal for two years, he then moved to Sugar City in 1959 and served as superintendent there for three years. Vibber's historical reign as longest serving public school superintendent spanned 50 years, at least three generations of students, and the construction of two new schools.

The present high school was built in 1964 and was one of Vibber's first major projects after coming to Fowler. More recently, in 2003 Vibber was a driving force behind the consolidation of the two elementary schools into one new facility now across the street from the junior high and high school.

In the days following Vibber's death terms like iconic and legendary have been used to refer to the legacy he leaves behind. Those who knew him agree, but say he would find that embarrassing. Vibber encouraged and expected the best from people, never failing to recognize heartfelt effort. From students to teachers to support staff, Vibber attributed successes at the school to those around him andreferred to himself as merely a facilitator.

Many would argue though it was his skill as a facilitator which contributed heavily to the outstanding achievements, both academic and athletic, of Fowler School District. Tim Baublits tells about being hired at Fowler High School 25 years ago, “As I think about Dr. Vibber, I am taken back to that June day in 1985 when I was sitting in my college dorm room opening that letter addressed to me fromFowler School District wondering if my interview had landed me that first great job back in the valley where I grew up. It had. Since that day, I have Dr. Vibber to thank for launching my career in education. He was always supportive of me throughout my career. When I made mistakes, he had a way of speaking to me about just what needed to be done to improve. Now, at his passing, I will miss our visits in the library; his advice at times when I needed it, and many times when I thought I didn’t. I have been so lucky to have known Dr. Vibber and to have worked for him these past 25 years. I willcertainly miss him.”

Grasmick agrees, “Dr. Vibber was my boss, my mentor but especially my good friend. He would always start the year off with a talk to the students...it would go like this: 'There are three basic rulesto follow and if you do these you will be successful in school 1) Be on time. 2) Work hard. 3) Respect your teachers and classmates.' His advice for hiring staff was...hire the best possible person for the position, give them the resources they need and then let them teach!”

Another component to Vibber's success seemed to be his extensive knowledge about various subjects. Ranging from issues of education to town business or football games (he served for many years as an official), Vibber could effectively draw from a vast wealth of experience in a variety of situations.

Grasmick says, “Dr. Vibber had a wealth of knowledge in his head and could always be counted on to have an answer for almost any situation I or the board faced. He also had a knack for remembering phone numbers and peoples names when that information was long lost by me.”

Kelly Wager, Vibber's secretary, comments, “I have had the honor and pleasure of being Dr. Vibber's secretary for the past several years. He is a very kind and generous man, and his knowledge and expertise in the field will be greatly missed.”

Beyond his skill and knowledge, Vibber is being remembered for countless acts of kindness. His friends and family tell of a generous man who always rooted for the underdog and was vigilant about preserving an individual's dignity. Stories of money mysteriously appearing when needed most, or a letterman's jacket gifted by an anonymous donor are not uncommon. Clearly, he cared for members of the community as if they were his own family. “He was like a second father to me and a grandpa to my girls,” comments Moss.

Vibber's humble start in life began February 28, 1933 in Yuma County where he was born at the family home. He graduated from high school in Wray then served a three-year stint in the Navy during the Korean War. After completing his military service Vibber attended Colorado State College on an athletic scholarship which was replaced with an academic scholarship after the first quarter. It was alsoat CSC that he met his future wife, Joan. The couple were married in December of 1956 and celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary last year. He graduated from CSC with a masters in 1959 and after being hired at Fowler completed his doctorate degree in June of 1970 from the University of Northern Colorado.

The Vibbers raised two children, Greg and Leslie, and a foster daughter, Denise Oxley. Leslie has followed in her father's footsteps choosing a career in education and is employed as Coordinator of Student Wellness and Crisis Response in Douglas County. Leslie and her husband, Chris Clemensen, have seventeen-year old twin daughters, Lindsey and Rachel.

Son, Greg and his wife Elora have one son, Alex, an 8th grader in Blythewood, South Carolina. Greg, a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army, recently returned from Iraq and is now stationed atFort Jackson in South Carolina.

Denise has two sons, James and Michael.

Joan says her husband had many loves but family was his greatest. “He loved his grandchildren and kids.”

Fifty years of service in the field of education resulted in numerous distinctions for Vibber as well as several offices held. Among those are the office of president of Colorado High School Activities Association; president of Colorado Association of School Executives; member of CHSAA Hall of Fame; chairman of CHSAA Budget Committee where he served as a member for fifteen years; recipient of CASE Distinguished Service Award; and recipient of CASE Colbert Cushing Memorial Award.

It should also be noted Vibber was always been a strong advocate of balancing quality extra-curricular activities with a solid academic program. Vibber believed extra-curricular activities, athletic or otherwise, built character and prepared students for life after high school.

Vibber's sense of loyalty and dedication however, was not limited to the school. "Dad believed we all have an obligation to give back not only to our community, but also our state and country," says son, Greg. To that end Vibber lived out his convictions belonging to several community service organizations such as the Elks, Lions and locally, the Danish Brotherhood. He was also a Mason and a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church of Fowler where he was baptized, confirmed, and later served many years on the council.
Currently, Vibber was a trustee on Fowler's Town Council, for the second time. Previously he served 12 years.

Fowler Mayor Ray Wards admired Vibber's direct approach when addressing town business. “Working with Doc with the town, there was one thing about him, he was always straight forward. Never any doubtsabout what he thought or where he stood. I have all respect for the man because of that,” states Wards.

As a member of the Fowler Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the school, Vibber, along with local businessman Jake Norton, emceed the organization's Wake-up Breakfast each June, much to the delight of all who attended.

Fowler Town Administrator, Wayne Snider, comments, “Larry, Dr. Vibber, Doc, The Superintendent, we all knew Larry, the man with many roles and all which he played so well. How can anyone forget the 47 plus years Larry gave to every person in our community and how fortunate we are to have had an individual in our midst with such passion for a community and the prosperity for which he wished for everyone. Larry, we will never forget.”

Traveling was a particularly strong passion for Vibber who loved maps and adventures. Larry and Joan have traveled the world and been on numerous cruises. According to his family Vibber was always looking for back roads or out of the way places to eat. Two years ago, the entire family, including children and grandchildren, gathered for a Caribbean Cruise to celebrate Larry and Joan's 50th weddinganniversary. The family says the trip had been planned for years and was a highlight for all of them.

"Dad believed in experiencing life to the fullest, states daughter, Leslie, "But never at the expense of someone else," she adds.

Vibber always made time for friends and one of his favorite rituals was meeting for coffee at Stockman's Restaurant. Joan says he always joked he was off, “to get his marching orders for the day.” Itwas there he felt he kept his finger on the pulse of the community.

Of course, memories of Vibber would not be complete without mentioning his love for the game of golf. Along with Warren Switser and Earl Diven, Vibber was a founding member of the golf course in Fowler. When the family first moved to town in 1962 there were only a couple of other people who played golf and Joan says he spent hours with new friends teaching them the game.

The Vibber family has hundreds of memories from a life well-lived, but one of the favorites, eliciting much laughter, is the mention of “ziggy ziggy.” A term Vibber learned while serving in the Philippines, ziggy ziggy means hurry, and anyone who knew Vibber knows how much he valued timeliness. According to his children, whenever the family was preparing to go somewhere, Vibber would call out “ziggy ziggy” meaning they had a five-minute warning. Joan laughs and adds, “Even the grandkids know what ziggy ziggy means.”

Over the years, Vibber received other job offers from schools as far away as Los Angeles County in California, but according to his family, leaving Fowler was never seriously considered. Simply stated, Vibber was dedicated; loyal to his family, loyal to his community, and loyal to the school district he literally lived to serve. In an interview with the Fowler Tribune one year ago this week, Vibber stated he had no immediate plans to retire. Jokingly he said, “I don't know what else I would do, this is my hobby I guess.” True to his word Vibber's responsibility to the school district and the community never faltered despite the difficulties increasingly presented by his failing health. Only last Monday it was business as usual at the twice monthly school board meeting where he updated board members on the status of summer projects at the school, and discussed plans for a board dinner in the fall. Later that evening Vibber attended the public town meeting as a trustee for Fowler Town Council, speaking to the audience about renovations at Park School. It was that kind of dedication that has surprised no one. Dr. Larry Vibber wouldn't have it any other way.

Two viewings have been scheduled, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at Griffy Family Funeral Home in Fowler. A public memorial service will be held Saturday (Aug. 1) at 1 p.m. in the Fowler High School Gym. Memorial donations for the Vibber Family Scholarship may be sent to Fowler School District.
