Just so saddened to hear this. Gabe and I studied Arabic in Cairo together and we were roommates as well. I lost touch with him a year or two after his wedding but wanted to reconnect. Finding out this news from this site was such a shock and deeply saddening. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Hard to believe it's been a year already. It's difficult to face those memories, but I am happy to recollect the many positive ones we shared over the years. Miss you, Gabe.

Dear Angela,
His wit, his calmness, his dependability, his outstanding intellect.. it is all still so fresh in our memory. I can assure you that there aren't too many days when we don't think of Gabe.
Our prayers and best wishes are always with you, Ella, Oliver and Violet Marie.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Ruth,
I cannot imagine how hard today must be for yourselves and the family. But, I am hoping that in the middle of it all, you are able to savor some pride at having brought to this world such a fine young man, whose unique charm and brightness have forever secured a special place in our hearts.
Please do let us know if we can be helpful in any way.
Sincerely,
Gopi

Tania, Your pain is unfathomable. Your spirit was stronger than mine at the Mount, but losing a son needs the grace of Blessed Mother whose son died at a similar age. I pray that the lives and love of Gabe's children enable you to go forward. Words are inadequate. In friendship, Linda

The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the unrest of those of us to follow. We all know what lays at the end of the road but twists, turns, and dapple shade obscure our clear view of it. We enjoy the journey and you, Gabe, made the journey so much easier, more pleasant, and more fun for those of us so fortunate to be around you. You would help anyone without need for the light yourself. You saw through the hyperbole, the vanities, the posturing and smiled as only old souls can do. I enjoyed your insights, substance, humor, your self effacing qualities and most of all I enjoyed standing in your calm Light. I regret not having sought you out more often just to chat but then we all do. Would that I or any of us could somehow ease the ineffable grief of your family Gabe. "For the substance of grief is not imaginary. It's as real as rope or the absence of air." writes Barbara Kingsolver. I miss standing in your Light. I gasp for air.

I was fortunate to spend a lot of time with Gabe growing up off Grove Avenue in Falls Church. Our families had children of the same age, and for many years the school bus picked us up outside his house. We spent many mornings together on his stoop--playing tic-tac-toe (he had mastered its strategy already and regularly bested me), picking up lady bugs and roly poly's, talking about Nintendo games and doing the types of things little boys do to pass the time.
Gabe was a great friend and someone I looked up to; he amazed me with his creativity and imagination; he was smart, funny and kind; he was someone I aspired to be in many ways. He continued to achieve and succeed in ways that made me proud to have such a friend. He will always be with me, and he will always be missed. Love you, buddy.
