Mr. Gradisar always brightened the world and the people he met. I recall that every single time we have visited, his smile initiated smiles on all who were around him!
Many years ago, I joined in some family parties when Fran and Linda were married. Gabe was such a great guy and we had many laughs!!
Our love and care goes out to Jean, Mark and Matt….Gabe Gradisar was a remarkable husband, father ,grandfather and friend. His generousity knew no bounds… ! Our families were bound by our children’s care for each other for over 50 years!
He will be missed by many more than the immediate circle of family and friends ! Love to each and every one of you, and may you be comforted by the fact that your love carried him to the very end !
