Our gratitude to Jack Gibson 1929-2008
The
Board and staff at the Schizophrenia Research Institute send their
condolences to Judy Gibson and family on the passing of Jack Gibson.
We are deeply saddened at this terrible loss yet realise that Jack
left behind a legacy of kindness, generosity and empathy.
Jack and Judy have always been passionate about
schizophrenia - their eldest son Luke had the disease and passed
away in 1987. Jack and Judy raised over $1million in support for
the Institute over the last 12 years. From organising formal fundraising
dinners and donating proceeds from his four books to attracting
influential people to the cause, their generosity and diligence
was relentless. This passionate commitment has provided vital support
to the Institute and educated many about the need for research into
schizophrenia.
We would like to express our thanks for this
incredible gift and send our deepest sympathy at this difficult
time.
With kind wishes,
Professor Vaughan Carr
CEO, Schizophrenia Research Institute
May 2008
