WHEREAS, “a day is what you make it”, was one of Joe Theibert's 'rules of life' and the one rule that he was actually willing to follow! Joe made the most of every day he was given, and those who knew him were richer for it; and
WHEREAS, born one of twelve children to Fergus and Mary Louise Theibert, Joe grew up in Bexley, Ohio among a large loving family and childhood friends who were with him until the end; and
WHEREAS, Joe was one of the pioneers of the Short North Arts District and a founding organizer of the Doo Dah Parade; from his barstool 'office' at the Short North Tavern, Joe never met a stranger, and he shared his wit and wisdom with generations of Tavern regulars who remember him fondly and will miss him dearly; and
WHEREAS, he was a member of the 4S Club in German Village, and a one-time President of the Lion's Club; Joe was an avid golfer, reader and a fan of all sports, notably his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes; and
WHEREAS, we pray that memories of Joe Theibert will forever and always be with our Columbus community. He was an honest, compassionate and loved man who made this world a better place; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That this Council does honor, recognize and celebrate the life of Joseph E. Theibert and extend our sincere condolences to her family and friends on the occasion of his passing, Monday, April 3, 2017.
