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
