I continue to remember Gabe and his decency! A sweet guy, gone too soon!

Spent several days at your campsite at Priest with Woody, Wendy, and Kim, cheering you and sharing in endless stories of our times together with Sned, Snedley, Snedwad, our frugal shopper, the guy who always traveled with a condiment bag, and always our missing friend. Nine years seems like forever yet you are with me almost daily. Miss you Buddy...

We completed another annual pilgrimage to the lake in your honor. You were well missed of course, and you would have loved the stories we captured in prep for sharing with your daughter (per her Mom's suggestion). I know they did a celebration for you this year too buddy...

Celebrating all the great memories on our 6th annual Gabe Memorial trip to Distillery Bay in Priest Lake with Woody, Wendy, and Kim. We've cheered you many times this week and especially today. Miss you buddy, always...

So sorry to hear about Gabe's untimely passing. He was a dedicated and wonderful environmental advocate in Shoreline and elsewhere. Thanks to him for his work on the Sustainability Strategy for Shoreline.
