We regret to announce the death of Gabriel Joseph Lavarello who passed away aged 83 on Wednesday 19th March after a long illness. The funeral took place the following day.
Gabriel was born on 23rd March 1930 to William and Violet (nee Glass) and was one of four siblings. He married Mary Glass on 30 th January 1957.
Gabriel was employed by the Agriculture Department, served as barman in the pub for many years, and was also a fisherman. Gabriel was very strong and fit in his youth and was coxswain for ‘Longboat’. He always had a good story to tell of Tristan in his younger days and even after he became housebound his early life stories were still told. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
Gabriel is survived by his wife Mary, children Marion, Beverley and John, and grandchildren Patrick, Lynette, Cedric and Rhyanna.
The family would like to thank everyone who supported them during Gabriel’s illness and all those who sent messages of condolences. God’s blessings are sent to you all.
