    Mr. Tibbetts was a truly inspiring man, I am very proud to have known and worked for him. His life story of humble beginnings to a savvy businessman and his qualities of hard work, dedication, common sense, humility, tenacity and most of all love for community and family, demonstrate just how we can overcome life’s adversities and tragedy and with adopting these traits just how endless possibilities and opportunities would be. If we all sought to be more like him in some way our Islands would be a much better place. To April and all the CITN staff this was a beautiful and touching production, job well done. May his soul Rest in Peace.

    Linton was virtually the sole inspiration for me and my family to visit the Caymans and to understand and respect our roots. My father, a seafarer born in Cayman Brac, passed away much too soon, but Linton continued to encourage our returns and contacts with the Cayman Islands. Mr. Tibbetts was a lifelong volunteer diplomat for the Caymans, and as far as we're concerned, he is irreplacable. Thank you for the memories. Allen and Janet Scott
