Gabriel was part of Florida Bible Church for many years. He enjoyed recording their service in the early years of the church.  Gabriel loved gardening and listening to Christian radio from morning until night. He supported many Christian ministers that no one knew about until now.  He used to love fishing on Lake Parsippany with his nephews in New Jersey. He was talented with electronics.  His mother would walk into his room and find wires strung across the room as he liked to experiment with electronics. She humorously called him Thomas Edison. He was known to all of us as uncle Gibby, his friends knew him as Gabe. Gabriel missed his parents and siblings very much. For his family, that are here, we will miss him.  As for him, he is now reunited with those he missed in the presence of the Lord.
