Reginald Dennis Bibb
Passed away peacefully on November 8, 2023 at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in his 96th year. Beloved husband of the late Ella Ivy Julia Bibb and loving father of Susan and Roland McGrath and the late Stephen Bibb. Cherished grandfather of Christine and Derek Vokey, Sarah and Jason Grady, Mandi and Bradley Cantelon, and Buddy McGrath and Great Grandfather of Rob, Mike, Sean, Owen and Drew Vokey, Caden and Addisyn Grady, Wesley, Blake and Logan Cantelon and Emma and Miles McGrath. Predeceased by his parents, William James Bibb and Mary Ann Bibb formerly Marney. Our favorite memory was his big heart. He was always the first to offer anything for anyone that was in need. Reginald was great friends with Clement, Ella's brother and that was how they met. When they were married, Reginald was 27 and Ella was 22. They decided to come to Canada a month after being married for a better life. They sailed on May 3rd on the SS Steamship Atlantic which turned out to be Reginald's old troupe ship called the Georgic and landed in Canada on May 10th 1954. They were happily married for 67 ½years before Ella's passing. Reginald was a welding teacher and he loved to build things with his hands. Reginald and Ella loved to travel and see the world. He loved to listen to history books on his device called a Daisy which he could listen to because he was blind. Reginald loved his family with every being in his body. He will be dearly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him and especially by his family.
