Well, Gabe, here it is time for The Memorial Tournament and Tiger's playing. I came very close to picking up the phone to call and tell Liz the TV schedules so you could watch it...and then I remembered...that can't happen anymore. Needless to say, it made me very sad. I miss you, my friend, more than I can say. Who's going to laugh and shout with me when OSU plays Michigan or when Tiger wins another tournament (and he will) or when "our girls" Serena and Coco Gauff win again in tennis...and hundreds of other interactions I've shared with you and Liz and the girls through the years? You've been my Father Confessor; my big brother but, most of all, an AWESOME FRIEND...always there willing to help whenever or where-ever. As we age, time has a way of taking things from us, but all I can say is it's gonna take a WHOLE, WHOLE lot of Dementia, Alzheimer's, etc., to make me forget you. REST IN PEACE...Stuff.
P.S. There are those who will say these comments are very late (which they are)...but I say "Better Late Than Never."
There is a time for everything...and this is the right time.

I haven't seen Gabe in many years but I remember him being a great person. I used to pick him up for work when we worked nights at O-I. My first attempt at golf was with Gabe. I know he was a great basketball player at Macomber. Rest In Peace Gabe. Praying for him and his family. May all of you receive Gods blessings.
