Kathy,<br>We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. We offer our sympathy and prayers to you and your family at this difficult time. We didn't know your dad, other than seeing him at the business once in awhile, but we are sure you must have got your warm and great personality from him.

Cathy & Mark - <br>I was truly saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Mr. G's was a huge part of my "formative years," some of the best times I had. Dianne Aldrich, Mark Leventhal, John Maloney and I would hang out there all afternoon - have pizza or steak and cheese subs (Mr. G had a real talent with steak and cheese - the best ever!) and play Asteroids, or whatever the new video game he had at the time was. He always had a smile and a kind word when he greeted you. He was one genuinely nice man, and he will surely be missed. My thoughts are with you both. God Bless.<br>Michael Lurie - formerly of Peabody Mass.

To Jim, Dave, Dan, and Kathy, <br><br>We are deeply saddened at the news today and want to extend our deepest sympathies for the loss of your Father. Mr. u001c Gu001d was a part of our growing up. I recently had the pleasure of seeing him at one of my grandson’ s Little League games this summer. I wasn’ t sure if he would remember me because I had only seen him a couple of times in the past 30 years. I walked up to him, stared into those twinkling eyes, and he says u001c Mikeu001d How does he do it? He made everyone around him feel good. It’ s amazing how a smile from him could make you feel warm all day. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, something I usually don’ t do, but something inside me that day wanted him to know how much I cared about him. He loved to laugh and we shared a good laugh about the fact that I was now a Grandfather too. Mr. G & a special soul, who made the world a better place, will be missed. I’ m leaving on business the rest of the week and sad that I will not be able to be there with you. But, please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.<br><br>Mike & Jane Miano

It's very sad to see Uncle Davie pass away. I'm sure he's happy now that he has rejoined his wife Mary, his mom and dad, as well as his siblings who have passed on before him. We will all miss this very dear, sweet, loving man. It saddens me greatly that I can't be there with all of you. Love and miss all of you, Cousin Joey

I am very saddened to hear that "Mr. G." has passed away. Mr. & Mrs. G created a great place where many special memories have been created. I went to Mr. G's. almost every day. I share special memories with my neighborhood friends and hangin' at G's. We would go there every day, get pizza, play the Asteroid machine, and chat with Mr. & Mrs. G. My memories of Mr. G's pizza will forever be a part of one of the greatest times in my life that I quite often think about and truly miss. Every time I'd see <br>Mr. G he'd say "how ya doin' kid"...even though I wasn't a kid anymore.<br><br>Kat & Mark - I am very sorry for your families loss. Your parents touched many lives and will have a special place in peoples hearts forever. <br><br>With my deepest sympathy, Dianne Aldrich (now Johnson) formerly of Peabody<br>October 10, 2005 <br>

I am not sure how old I was when I first met Pal O'Mine Davey. He remembers coming to my house when I was a kid to fix my mom's GE washing machines and appliances. He would always tell me the story of coming over to my house and remembered it specifically because we had 2 washing machines. With 6 kids I guess my Mom needed that. Once he started Mr G's (I was 13) we worked together from day one. Not only was Dave like a father to me he was a very good friend. Even after I stopped working at Mr G's - no one ever really stops working there because you always want to go back - I still saw him 3-4 time per week. We would go out for lunch together and went to Foxwoods on many occassions. Our cribbage and gin games numbered in the 1000's - with Dave winning most of them. Once I moved to Las Vegas I tried to have him come out for a visit - although I know he wanted to he never got there. Kat and everyone, I am sure you know how sorry I am to hear of your loss. Please try to stay strong. Love Always Lee

To Mr.G's family,<br><br>With deep sadness I heard the news of Dave's passing. I immediately was filled with loving memories of my visits back home which always included a visit to stop by and say hello to Mr. G. My last visit, which was a few months ago when I was back home for my daughter's bridal shower, especially touched my heart. I asked a cousin of mine to please drop me by Lowe St so I could drop in just for a quick visit and hug. How happy Dave was that I came by to say hello. We sat in a booth with some friends that were there (of course)and we had a good chat. Then suddenly, Dave made a comment about my father. I had no idea he even knew,let alone remembered my parents! I was quite taken back. I took a long hard look at Dave while he was talking, and commented to myself how very kind and loving his face was. He continued talking about some memory of he and my dad, but I was lost in another world. When I left and gave him a hug goodbye, I was so glad that I was able to see him that day. Many visits in the past were memorable, watching my children make their own pizza or subs, trying desperately to reach the counter of their father's godfather's 'fun' store, holding drinks that were bigger than own little hands could hold, how they were always made to feel so special by Dave and Kathy and all, but somehow my last visit stands the most in my mind and heart and I will cherish it forever. I had him all to myself and I did not have to share him with anyone. He was so appreciative that I came to see him, but little did he did know, it was I that was so appreciative. <br><br>To Dave's family, I would like to tell you that I share your pain and walk your path. You see, I too lost loved ones in a short time span. My parents (and brother) all passed within 9 months of each other. I truly share your loss. I thank each of you for sharing your dad and all the wonderful loving memories with me and my family. I sincerely hope all the love you will be told by others that Dave touched will be of some comfort to you in the coming days. I am very sad for your family. <br>In very deep sympathy,<br>Angela Lombardi<br>(wife of Arthur)

I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the Gabriel family on the loss of Mr. G. He was one of the nicest, thoughtful and most pleasant people I??ve ever met. He was always smiling and made time to sit and chat with me whenever I popped in for a visit. I will always remember how he and Mrs. G allowed the neighborhood gang to make their home our second home. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

I want to extend my condolences to the Gabriel family. I only met Mr. Gabriel once while my mother and I stopped by Mr. G's for lunch one day and he was sitting at a table and talking with all the customers that came in. I remember how we struck up a conversation and how he made me feel like we had been friends forever. My mom, Priscilla Adams, has been friends with Kathy for years and a long time customer. I would just like to thank the entire Gabriel family for the kindness they have shown to my mother throughout the years and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My Dearest Kathy and David (Jimmy and Danny)<br>I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He always treated me like one of the family, always going out of his way to attend our familys' occasions and going out of his way to say a hello and give me a hug. I hope you will forgive us for not being there for you at this time as we had decided to go to Texas and California these two weeks to visit Tommy and his family and my family in LA. I know "Uncle Davy" would have understood our absense. We will see you when we get back. Stay strong for each other, especially for the Grand kids.<br>Love to all of you<br>Larry (and Marge)

To my Dear "Uncle Dave". How shocked and saddened I was to hear of your sudden passing. I am so heartbroken that I will not see your gentle, sweet face ever again. My memories of you go back so far and long of sitting on your lap since I was about 3, to everyday visits during high school, since I was lucky enough to have you and Dad right down the hill, to just months ago sitting across from you in your favorite booth chatting and catching up. Our families have been intertwined for as long as I can remember, and you will live on in all of our hearts forever. <br><br>Much love and sympathy to Kathy, Mark and kids, and all of the rest of the family.<br><br>Peace and Love,<br>Lori B. Salema (Israelson) and family
