JOHN H. GABBERT

My sincere sympathy to the family, and may I add what a joy to have briefly met this remarkable man when I had the honor to be his Guardian on Honor Flight in the fall of 2012. my sympathy to your family for your loss mandy lambert

My sincere sympathy to the family as you grieve your loss of father and grandfather. My name is Dianne and a niece of Naomi and Bill Hoover (my mother was Uncle Bill's sister). When my family moved from Roanoke to the Richmond area, we visited John in his barnlike warehouse/shop and he showed us prototype phones, the princess model and one with viewing screens. I've never forgotten that. What a good and full life he had. He looks so much like his father, whom I remember so fondly in the house in Roanoke on Westover where Naomi cared for him in his latter years. I have very fond memories of both of John and Naomi's parents, of that house I think they grew up in and I hope all of you have fond memories of John and all parts of his life, too. With Love, Dianne Hughs Shuler
