In Memoriam

John E. Gibbons
November 15, 1944 – February 25, 2024

John Gibbons was the Chairman Emeritus of Bradley & Parker. In this role, he counseled key clients regarding their insurance programs and worked with unions, corporations and individuals. In addition, he counseled the firm’s leadership team.

John started his career in insurance at General Accident Insurance before joining B&P in 1972. When the current management structure at B&P assumed control of the company in 1983, John was named Senior Vice President. In 1988, he was promoted to Executive Vice President where he continued until he was named Chairman and President in 1991. During his tenure at B&P, mostly in a leadership role, John saw the company grow from a small traditional local agency to one of the preeminent privately held insurance and financial firms in the metro area. B&P has grown from a staff in the single digits to over 60, from a firm with three million dollars in sales to one in excess of $140,000,000.

John was instrumental in the firm’s industry leading adoption of IT, implementing many acquisitions and mergers, maintaining excellent relations with our carriers and, probably most importantly, providing excellent counsel to his team and the firm’s clients.

He will be deeply missed by family, our team, clients and carrier partners.
