Rex Battarbee Once Wrote:

Gabriel was born into a tragic family. He was the eldest son of Enos, and his mother and brother charles both died when he was a small boy. despite this he grew to be a kindly and pleaasant personality; quitely spoken, contented, and considerate. He was a memorable and well liked individual and a most compenent painter. But like his fater he died suddenly in may 1969.
