Sudden Death of a Well Known Resident.
It is with regret that we announce the death of Commander
John Este Vibert which took place suddenly last evening
at his residence, 5 Belgrave Terrace, Dicq Road. The
deceased, who was 49, was the son of the late Mr Vibert
who for many years conducted a scholastic establishment
at St Aubins. Adopting the Royal Navy as a career he
rose rank by rank in the Engineering Section of the
service until he obtained the rank of Commander. He
was compelled, however, some 2 years ago to retire from
the Service owing to the precarious state of his health
and during the intervening period he has resided in
Jersey and has made himself extremely popular with a
large section of the community. Last evening whilst
at supper he was suddenly seized with illness and before
his medical attendant could be summoned he had passed
away. A certificate was subsequently issued stating
that death was due to failure of the hearts action.
The deceased was a member of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce
and a regular attendant at St Lukes Church, where the
first portion of the burial service is to be conducted
on Friday afternoon. To his widow and all other members
of the bereaved family we would tender our respectful
sympathy.
