William "Bill" Gabriel

I played in the band The Unforgiven and he was a kind and wonderful person. We used to practice at his home in Sterling Hgts. Rip

I just got reunited with Bill while listening to the band Nightfall Rock. I remember him fondly from my youth when he was in a band with my brother Gene Ryan (Hoenicke) The Unforgiven. I also have great memories of his family. Thinking of his family and friends at this time of sadness. My prayers are with you.

Bill, I was looking forward to hearing you (and the guys) play in July, when I'll be up from Florida for our high school reunion. Seems I'll have to postpone that for a while. Even though you're in that better place, we'll miss you greatly, cause "baby, baby, you got the feelin!"

Jen sending our condolences. We are so sorry about your dad. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May your memories of Dad help ease your pain.

Brother Bill I can not explain how much I love you and will miss you. Ever since we were kids you and your sister were always the apple of my eye and you were my protector . You always stuck up for me. It was just who you were. The music and how much you loved those drums. Who knew that in the future you would be such a great musician. It all started with your first set of drums in the basement and it drove Mom crazy.Then Rocky show up at the front door and asked you to be the...

My condolences to Bills family. I worked with Bill at GD for nearly 20 years. Bills great sense of humor made some of those long days at the office seem to fly by. Spinning Wheel was one of Bills signature songs, every time I hear that song, I think of Bill rocking it out..........Rest in Peace my Friend.

Rest in Peace my friend Bill. Hit em straight down the middle when playing those heavenly holes.
My prayers and condolences to the family.

Bill,

Miss you.

Our thoughts are with your family. Especially Katherine. I wish I could physically visit you, Katherine; but that's not possible right now. However, as soon as I can, I will be there.

Thoughts and Prayers,

My condolences to the friends and family of Bill, he was a light in this world and will not be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have known him. He had a joyfully infectious personality, a beloved singing voice, and the biggest heart.

I had the pleasure of signing with Bill in Nightfall years ago, and he made a point to visit me at karaoke and reach out from time to time. I was so saddened by the news that he had passed. His kindness will always be a highlight in my life.
