My condolences for Mr Gab’s family and friends. Seems like he lived a wonderful life.
I pray your hearts are filled with more love for his living than sorrow for his passing.

Dear Rae, Ryan and Rachel, We will always treasure our memories of your Dad. Countless hours of stories; histeric laughter; haircuts; trip to Italy and much more. Your Dad was so proud of you all and often bragged about you and your children. Words cannot express the love we felt from you the other day. Love that the three of you shared with a room full of friends and family. Love for our Rae. THANK YOU. May your Dad rest for eternity and be reunited with your Mom.

Rae, you were one of a kind, Bud, and will be dearly missed. I'm grateful to have known you and to have been blessed with your friendship for nearly 50 years. The many memories of the good times shared with you and friends are eternal. My heartfelt condolences go our to Rae, Ryan, Rachel and family. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

We lost a great one... Rae was a dear friend for over 50 years. Can't tell you how many laughs and great times we had together. Every time you asked Rae "how are you", he would always reply "GREAT"! He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.

I remember fondly that laugh and smile as Rae would entertain us with a short tale while we all worked out together at MCAC - so long ago.

The punch line to a joke, or to the end of his story - always had him do that fast little finger swipe of his nose as he inhaled deeply and got set for the next story, or joke, or laugh. He and Ben were like peas in a pod and at times were the premiere Heckle and Jeckle.

It was Rae who first told me with a resolute authority in 1980,...

Rae was one of my closest friends. He was always prepared to help someone in need. He always look on the bright side of life and live it that way as well.
One word Frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.
