  3. I worked with Gabby at Moser, Inc. a few years prior to his retirement and we became friends. He was a happy man and always had a smile. He was a very special friend and I will miss him. To Rick and the rest of the family, may you feel God’s comfort during this time of sorry at the loss of your Dad and Grandfather.
