George Robert Tebbetts, Jr. Obituary. Published by The Islander, Anna Maria, Fla. George Robert Tebbetts, Jr., 63, died June 17. He grew up on Anna Maria Island and spent most of his life in the Bradenton area, and had moved to be near family and care in Jacksonville, where he fought cancer until the time of his death. He enjoyed growing up on Anna Maria Island in the days when Anna Maria Island meant family. He was always an island guy, loving all things AMI: The community center, the pool hall, a Boston Whaler, fishing the canals, the family home on Oak Avenue, the piers, Ernie's IGA, the Sandbar, Bean Point and the many adventures with his AMI friends. He had a wonderful sense of humor, an engaging smile, a true zest for life and, most important, he had a caring soul. He also grew up in the world of baseball, with his father, Birdie Tebbetts, playing, managing and scouting for Major League Baseball for many years. With baseball in his genes, he played the game through his years at Florida State University. Many knew better than to challenge his billiard skills but his true love for sports was found in the game of golf. After obtaining a business and finance degree, he saw much success in the business world. He enjoyed travel - with Hawaii topping the list. Then later found work that satisfied his desire for more personal freedom and golf time. He met people from all walks of life and, through them, gained a deepening awareness of the struggles faced by so many. He had great compassion. During his last decade and more, never seeking recognition, he quietly carried out random acts of kindness and generosity for those he saw in need. Countless individuals benefited. His greatest gift was his humble caring spirit. He will be dearly missed. He will rest on Anna Maria Island, the place he called home, next to his parents in the St. Bernard Catholic Church memorial garden in Holmes Beach. Mr.
Tebbetts is survived by sisters Sue Mitchell, Betty DeLuca and Pat Kirton;
five nieces; five grand-nephews and 2 grand-nieces; the Tebbetts family of
New Hampshire; the Hartnett family of Vermont and his lifelong friend and
brother in spirit, Jimmy Weaver. |
