George "Bruce" Libengood went home to be with our Lord Saturday, August 7, 2004,
after a courageous battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He was born on May 27, 1932,
and his hometown was Alliance, Ohio. He was the youngest son of Daisy and George
Libengood. He joins them in paradise along with siblings, Marie (John) Hopkins,
Bud (Virginia) Libengood, Ross Libengood; and two cousins also raised with him,

After six years in the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict, he
graduated from Mount Union College where he met his wife of 45 years, Landra
Boyer. Their union produced three children, Curt (Susan), Doug (Annie) and

and dear friends will also miss him.
