As I sit here and look at his picture, many things come to mind, but what comes to mind the most, is who Gabe was on the inside as apposed to the outside. He had a big heart! His family was first and foremost, in good times and in bad. He carried the burdens of many at times. He never liked to see people down and out and would do what he could to help, didn't matter who they were.
He was a knowledgeable man and liked to share it. He surprised me with his talents with the guitar and his wood working. A big man with big hands and yet able to be so skillful. I will miss him.
Sleep my friend.....I will see you again.

Rest in peace my friend. I will cherish the days we spent on the golf course and will always have those special memories of you in your office playing your guitar and singing those beautiful ballads. You were a true friend of mine for the 17 years I knew you.
With deepest sympathy to the family.
