(The following biography is from a 2009 NETA newsletter)

Four time New England Champion
1960,1961,1962 and 1966

A multi-faceted man, Tibby served his country with distinction in two separate stints in the Marine Corps, including one tour during the Korean War. He was an airplane pilot and an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed golfing, hunting and fishing, as well as spending time with his family.

Tibby’s first love, though, was always motorcycles and over the years he became well-known in local racing circles, competing in all disciplines of the sport including trials and hill climbing.

Tibby founded, owned, and operated Tibby’s Harley-Davidson, a family-owned and operated dealership in Springfield, MA since 1956.

Tibby passed away on March 30, 2008.
