50 years later, I still remember the first day that Gabe walked into the cafeteria in St. Joe's. He struck the fear of God in all of us. He was a great educator, motivator and developer of young Christian men. My father had just passed away and Gabe was truly the most influential male in my life. he was a remakable person. Whenever I bang my head, I immediately start reciting Latin. Rosa,Rosae,Rosae, Rosam,Rosa. We will all miss you. You were a once in a life time experience. Rest in peace Brother Gabe. Requiscat in pace. St Joe's 62.

Seems like yesterday we were studying Latin with Brother Gabe at St Joes, WNY; four years too! and who doesn't remember the De La Salle annual drive and the gifts you were awarded at different levels; rest in peace and save me a place next to you at the Lord's table;

Brother Gabriel, I remember those Sunday dinners at John O'Connor's house at West 105th Street in Ascension Parish. I was privileged to meet you again during your years at Manhattan College. You were a beautiful light in our lives.

Brother Gabriel, you taught us the lessons that last a lifetime; to work hard, to reach beyond what we thought possible and to always treat others with dignity and respect. With a firm hand (which I felt more than once!) and a caring heart (that I knew was always there) you set an example for so many young men and woman during our formative years at St. Joe's of the Palisades. You left this world, and specifically my world, a much better place for having been in it. A life well lived! RIP Brother Gabriel.

Brother Gabriel (we affectionately called him "Gabe") was the real thing! He was always genuinely himself, and because of that he brought out the best in all of us; I've never forgotten that. He made me feel that even us quiet kids mattered. Rest now, Brother Gabriel, you made a difference in my life.

Brother Gabriel was the Glee Club moderator in St Joes. I will always remember his beautiful singing voice, and how he taught us to sing "Climb Every Mountain". God Bless Brother Gabriel!

Brother Gabriel taught Latin at St.Joe's and coached football. He was a very inspirational person and an outstanding educator. His "personal touch" was very motivational and inspired many of us to be the best that we were capable of becoming. We were taught and learned many basic principles that each of us use in our lives today. May God bless you and your family. You made a difference in our lives and we thank you for all of your efforts.

Next to my wonderful Dad, Brother Gabriel was the adult person who most influenced my high school years. He was truly an inspiration. Remember. "when you york, work hard, when you play play hard and when you pray, pray hard." Good words for any generation. I am certain God has a good seat for you in heaven.
