George Crews Gibson ’52

George Crews Gibson ’52 passed away in Denver on June 4. Except for military service and undergraduate college, George spent his whole life committed to Denver. He was born on April 23, 1929, in Denver and grew up there, graduating from South High School in 1947. He then served in the Army for a year and a half before entering Dartmouth, where he studied English and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In 1955 he earned a law degree from Denver University Law School and then joined the law firm of Hughes and Dorsey, practicing law in Denver for nearly 40 years. He married his childhood sweetheart, Cornelia Florence Mueller, in 1961. Together for 56 years, they enjoyed Colorado winter and summer outdoor activities of all sorts, as well as world travel and scuba diving. She survives him, along with children George and Jennifer and five grandchildren. For 37 years George remained an active board member of the AV Hunter Trust, the oldest private foundation in Colorado, providing financial support to nonprofit organizations offering services to those in need.
