We have fond memories of Gabe and Danilo when we were growing up. Our father Julio Alvarez worked at Naviera Coffee Mills with Carlos and Vicente for many years. We especially remember the fun times at thir beach house at IRB. We were saddened to learn of Gabe's passing and would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to the family.
