Dr. Gabriel delivered all 5 of my children. He sat with me after my daughter died of SIDS telling me that this had never happened to any of his patients before. He was a kind and caring person.

To the Gabriels Family,
We were truly sorry to read about the passing of Dr. Gabriels. When I was 9 months pregnant with our first child, my 17-year-old niece was killed in a car accident. Dr. Gabriels was away that weekend and I started having labor pains and spoke to the backup. When Dr. Gabriels got home, he called me at 8:30 at night and had me come in the next day. He was so comforting, but that's just the kind of man he was. He delivered all 3 of our babies and we were so happy and blessed to have him in the delivery room with us.
Heaven has received another angel. May your memories of him comfort you and bring you smiles in the times ahead.

Dr. Gabriels was my hero. He delivered two of my babies. When I was 41,with a 2 1/2-year-old and two other children ,I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was the same age as his wife was when she was diagnosed. He was relentless in pursuing my diagnosis and treatment. I will be forever grateful to the wonderful Dr. he was and the healthy and beautiful life I have because of his Persistence and dedication to my care! He was an extraordinary man and I am so sorry for your loss! Jane Monahan. KINDERHOOK, N Y

To me he was St. Joseph. In 1984 I lost my first pregnancy. He was my doctor who consistently had to give me difficult news. But he promised me my body was strong and would know what to do. He was right. I delivered and said goodbye, but then was blessed with three strong healthy sons after that. He was our rock and Ill never forget his kindness and gentle caring manner. Heaven has gained a new saint. May he Rest in his beautiful reward.

My wife Kathy and I loved Dr. Gabriels. He delivered both of our children - our son born on Christmas. Our daughter was due on Valentine's Day but arrived 6 days later. Dr Gabriels said she was still a precious valentine and he was so right. We shared many interests including love of the outdoors. Doctor was a man full of life and joy and we're so grateful he was the person that gave our family new life. No doubt, he was a extraordinary human being. God be with you Dr. Gabriels.
