GABRIELLE was named for RICHARD S. GABRIELLE, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Richard Gabrielle, age 50, West Haven, Connecticut, insurance broker with Aon Corp., he worked in World Trade Center Tower Two, 103rd Floor. He was a gentle man who got in trouble as a prankster during his youth but could talk his way out of the trouble. In adulthood, he was known for his love for his family. He is survived by his wife, Monica; daughter, Nicole; and beloved car, a Volkswagen Passat, whom he named "Baby P." Known as "bond007goldfinger" on a VW internet board, he was an active participant. Mr. Gabrielle was a 1976 graduate of Stony Brook University. We salute Mr. Gabrielle, a hero, and name this sweet dog in his honor.
