PAUL GABER Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 16, 2020.

GABER PAUL (SKIP)

Paul (Skip) Gaber, Age 80 of Jefferson Hills PA and Pompano Beach FL, passed away peacefully, at home in sunny Florida, February 5, 2020. Skip is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Helen (Carothers) Gaber. Adored father of Lori Gaber and Tim Gaber; and grandfather to Rocky, Vinny, Nicco, and Jessica Bombara; and great-grandfather to Karsen Bombara. Skip is mournfully predeceased by his children, Betsy, Tracy, and Jeffery Gaber, and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. A life well lived... He and Helen did it all, and got it right. He loved adventure; boating, scuba diving, island hoping, live music, socializing, and traveling the world with his wife and friends. Now it's onward to that great happy hour in the sky where the straight ahead jazz never stops, the sun is always warm, and the beers are always cold. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Online condolences may be left at www.jeffersonmemorial.biz.

Skip,
Thank you for all the great times that we had together. I remember the first time we met at the Pittsburgh airport. You were sitting next to Helen, when my wife introduced me to you and Helen. I was there with Mary Beth and our daughter Beth, we were on our way to Nassau Bahamas with some of the Pittsburgh Public School teachers, wow that was a great trip. I really enjoyed all of the of scuba diving and Pina Coladas and getting to know you and Helen.
I also remember the good times at your house, the parties that you and Helen had bring back such great memories. The dinners with you and Helen, Mary Beth and I were so enjoyable. I sometimes think of that hot summer when we painted your house, we sure took a lot of beer brakes didnt we!
I remember how handy you were and you coming to our house in Bethel Park to fix the plumbing in our kitchen sink.
Since Mary Beth and I moved away From Pittsburgh 42 years ago we didnt get together very often but I promise you, I thought about you and Helen many times.
Good bye old friend, I will see you again when my time here is over.

We just heard the news about Skip and were very saddened. We knew Skip since eighth grade! We hope Helen will be OK. Well always remember him fondly.

Helen, So sorry to read of Skip's passing. Where there was Skip there was Helen! I enjoyed being around him, so soft spoken and his beautiful smile! I take comfort that if there is Jazz and a Happy Hour up there, he is there with Ray!
My deepest sympathy to you, family and friends.
