I worked for Mr. Hausmann many years ago. I have always felt indebted to him for all that he taught me. He was a good man.

Awwww, I love Gabe, what a sweet, nice, interesting fellow. We met at the gym and since we worked out at the same hours, he became a good friend. We chatted chatted chatted, which was easy to do with Gabe. He was full of great stories, memories, and information, A True Inspiration. Always smiling, always warm, just full of good energy.
Gabe gave me a piece of his artwork, which I will always treasure. God Bless Gabe's Family and give Comfort in this time of loss. I know Gabe is dancing in Heaven now, delighting all those spirits around him.
