George K. Hibbard Jr. of Yarmouth Port, MA passed away on January 22, 2021 at the age of 75.  Also known as Buzzy, he was born in Barnstable to George K. Sr. and Constance J. (Stackhouse) Hibbard.

 

In his younger years, the family lived in Centerville eventually moving to Yarmouth where he attended school and graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School in 1964. Following high school George joined his Father’s plumbing business, Cape Cod Plumbing & Heating, and earned his Master Plumber’s license. He became the proprietor, continuing on until his retirement.

 

Buzzy enjoyed traveling the United States, especially to his favorite spot, Palm Springs, CA.  There were also many weekend getaways  to Boston.

 

Friends and family were often welcomed  at the Hibbard home for dinners and cookouts, the grandest of those gatherings was on the fourth of July.  He loved working in his yard and garden and watching football games, especially his favorite college team, Penn. State. 

 

When his grandchildren were young he took them on a “job” and treated them to coke and candy.  There were numerous Friday night sleep- overs with many grandchildren sleeping on the bedroom floor.

 

He was a proud and kind man who loved his family and friends and his job as a plumber.
