Maynard "Dip" Gabriel

The world was a much better place because "Dip" was in it. He always had a kind word and said something to make a person smile. I just saw him a few weeks ago and never expected it would be the last time I saw him. Years ago, after my father passed away I had found an old water stained picture of him when he was in the Navy. I mentioned it to "Dip" and he wanted to take a look at it. He took the picture, had it refurbished and hand made a frame for it. It is just beautiful. "Dip" had many talents but the greatest talent he had was bringing laughter and smiles to everyone he met. He will greatly missed but remembered fondly in all our hearts. Good bye "Dip" we love you!
