Not sure what to say?

I was very sad to learn of your loss but glad that I had the opportunity to know Chief Gaab, Mr. Gaab was a scoutmaster and was a great influence in my life.

I knew and worked with Harry when he was head of the Chiefs of Police Association in Harrisburg.

He was such a fine gentleman and good friend. My wife and I were truly saddened to hear of Harry's passing. He was really one of the good guys that you meet in your life. Wish there were more like him. RIP.

Draw close to Almighty God in prayer and he will draw close to you.

I remember Chief Gabb when we lived in Gladstone Manor area. As a young boy growing up I always remember him being nice an polite . I attended St Philomena's an was always selling something door to door as we use to in the olden days an Mr. Gabb would always buy whatever I was selling .As a young boy I also remember him always stopping to say hello and make sure us boys were OK. I can truelly say that Chief Gabb was a small part of my life growing up .. Thank you Chief. Richard Harlan...
