Joseph Gabriel Obituary
Joe loved comic books and memorabilia, which he collected his entire life. His love of literature, science fiction, and fantasy was reflected in his personal library and love of movies. He loved to travel and couldn't visit England often enough for high tea and to visit his brother! He loved visiting art museums and going to the theatre. His weekly Mah Jong at Nevins Library and 45's games at the Senior Center were always enjoyable. But the greatest enjoyment of his life was time with his family. He was steadfast in his devotion to his family, a kind and gentle soul who approached life with a quiet calm. Everyone knows that Dad/Papa always says YES.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Cathy (Wintering) Gabriel of Methuen, his daughters Elisabeth (Gabriel) Stucklen, Sara (Gabriel) Heng, both of Salem NH, Rebecca Gabriel of Methuen, sons-in-law Johnny Stucklen and Terry Heng, both of Salem NH, his brother Michael Gabriel of Oxford, England as well as his beloved granddaughters Emma Stucklen, Natasha Stucklen, Maya Heng, Ginny Stucklen, and Lily Heng. He is pre-deceased by his parents Joseph J. Gabriel and Theresa (Sicard) Gabriel.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, July 18, 2025 from 4:00PM – 7:00PM at Cataudella Funeral Home, 126 Pleasant Valley Street, Methuen, MA. A funeral Mass will be offered at 11:00AM on Saturday, July 19th at St. Lucy Parish, 254 Merrimack St, Methuen. Joe always mentioned he wanted us to celebrate his life, so feel free to come dressed in what feels happiest instead of in black. In lieu of flowers please support Nevins Memorial Library.
"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power…Green Lantern's light!"
