Abel Anthony Gorgita

Abel was one of the kindest people I know. He was always generous and loving to me and treated me as though I were one of his own children. Although I am a grown woman, when I came to visit Mimi and Abel, he still made me feel like I was a his kid and invited me to crawl up on the bed with him and Aunty Mimi and have coffee with them and chat. The unselfish offer he made to me to eat the lobster tail his great nephew brought to him just before he died because he knew that was my favorite. ...

Abel was a true gentleman in a tough and rough profession. I knew him for years in the Port of Hueneme and he was always cooperative, professional, supportive, and a friend with a smile on his face. Abel will be missed.

Abel and I knew each other as teenagers, he a few years older than I. His family lived on an oil lease near El Capitan in Santa Barbara County. My family lived on a lease just north of the Gorgita family. Abel had a deep interet in fishing then. Abel was a good person, very kind.I don't know his immediate family but my prayers are with them and his brothers and sisters. John Flynn

My condolences to the entire Gordita family... Abel was a good man and I loved him like a dad... but he feels no more pain and that is a good thing... he and the entire Gordita family will be in my prayers forever

Unfortunately, in this system we are currently faced with the circumstance of death. It is man's enemy and when we lose a loved one it is a terrible thing. We will miss Able and our sincere thoughts go out to friends and particulary family members. He is resting in peace as the rest of us continue to carry on our daily schedule. All the while, we will remember our dear, lost loved ones. Hold on to Jehovah's promise of the upcoming resurrection which will bring us joy forever.

You had been a father figure to me as a young man. You taught me to how to be a hard and responsible worker. I showed me what it is to be a kind and caring father. I do my best to follow your example. I love you and I'am looking forward to seeing you in the new system.

We will truly miss our beloved family patriarch-- he was a kind, loving man to the end, with a great personality..
