To the Gabler children, we were so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Your dad and mom and your family were certainly some of the best neighbors we ever had when you lived in Green. We had such a great neighborhood and spent a lot of time socializing with each other that it seemed like an endless party. Jack and Lyla were not only good neighbors but close friends. We stayed in touch over the years and  admired the way they always instilled their Christian values in you children. They were so proud of you children and grandchildren. We will always cherish memories of the vacation our families had  in Myrtle Beach. The volleyball games we used to have in our neighborhood and the neighborhood parties. 
In recent years we were glad to see your dad when he would come up here to help can peppers with your uncle Ray and alway included us in his visit. We always managed to have a lot of laughs with him and talk about "the old days"...what great memories. Your family will forever remain close to our hearts until we all meet again. We love you all.....Joni and Hank Tersigni




I was lucky to work for Jack, I started as his caregiver and it turned into a great friendship. We used to talk for hours. I loved coming to take care of Jack, we always had a new restaurant to go to or something new to try cooking. One Christmas I remember he roped me into helped him bake bread. What I thought was a simple task took us hours to complete! My husband loved the recipe so much I pestered Jack for a week to give me the recipe. But I got it in the end! Even his crabcake recipe I shared with many more of my clients and family, making sure to tell them that this was Jack’s recipe not mine. When Karla called me and told me he passed away my heart broke to pieces. I know he must be happy with his wife and parents now but Jack will always be loved here too. ❤️

It is hard to think of just one memory of Jack and his family.  They have always been so special to us. He was so devoted to his family and friends. His friendship with my husband, Ben Gaillard,  (deceased) will forever be cherished by my family.  We joined in the fun at the beach, back yard get togethers, the "Kelly Springfield gang" picnics and pool parties and so many other activities.  Watching our kids play sports, cheerleading, growing to become the bright well positioned  young adults they are. (I still have the knives David -no one else could have convinced me of that purchase). Our love and prayers to all the  beautiful Gabler family. There is so much of Jack and Lyla in each of you.  Such a blessing !There is no doubt you have so many memories and experiences to share and cherish.  Jackie, Michael & Gina send love also.

Jack and I met at Goodyear in Akron, O.. We lived in the same neighborhood and our kids played together. I think we recognized in each other the qualities that are most important in life, and we became "besties" without even trying.I remember meeting his Mom and Dad and I knew instantly where those qualities came from. I admired Jack's intelligence and problem solving ability.  He was a great friend, husband, father and grandfather. Carol and I will surely miss him. Rest in peace, Brother.

To all of Jack's extended family, 

Your Dad and Grandpa was always exceedingly kind to me and my Mother.  I am grateful still for the consideration he extended to my Mom while living next door with Jodi and Mitch.  He enriched the lives of many with his generosity of spirit and goodwill.  

I have missed Jodi, Mitch and Jack since their move away a few years ago.  I'm happy at their return to the area, but will miss Jack's presence.  The world is a poorer place with his absence.  

You've all done a wonderful job of framing his great character in your messages.  You are in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this difficult loss.  

With great regard,

Leslie DeMarco

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Jack Gabler at the wedding of Brian and Zoya some years ago.  
That was the only occasion I had a chance to meet him.
Impression I immeadiately got - he was a person everyone looked up to, respected — even Brian was like melted wax in front of him.  For me, that told a lot  about his personality, same way as he raised his children, with a paternal strong grip, guiding them in their lives, teaching them to respect everyone (even Finns), at the same time giving warm, strong  support in their lives.  I’m happy to see his legacy with Brian and his children.
What a great role model Jack was  for all of us.

Rest in peace Sir Jack.  

My condolences to the whole family,

As I remember all the memories I have made so far in my lifetime many of those I shared with my grandfather. Thanksgiving meals, Christmas mornings, beach trips, and many times getting up to the smell of coffee downstairs in the kitchen as my grandpa would sit at the breakfast table siping and watch the birds. I remember always looking forward to the August beach vacations every year as our whole family was able to gather and share many laughs and fun times with each other. One beach trip we brought bingo and played for prize's, I remember my grandfather decided to play in a round and he ended up winning an led toilet seat light which made him laugh as well as all of us. He was always very willing to be silly with the grandchildren. He even made a video doing the woah (a dance) with me and my sister. I am so thankful for all the times I was able to spend with my grandfather and i will cherish those forever. I love you so much grandpa you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace.💗

I remember Jack well from his days in Akron and Fayetteville. His obit describes him beautifully,

In years of my life I have been able to share so many memories with my Grandfather. My favorite memory was our yearly beach trips and how I was able to spend time with my grandpa & extended family. He was always very animated with all the grandchildren starting conversations calling us “chicken face monkey” or “stinky”, and many other names that would put a smile on our faces. I am so grateful for all of our memories, laughs, smiles, times that we shared together, and the hugs. I will always love you grandpa, may you rest in peace. 💕

Jack and I were teachers at Hudson High School in the 1960s.  Jack taught history, and I taught mathematics.  We started our families about the same time.  I remember Jack for his devotion to his family, his strong faith, and for his keen and quick sense of humor.  May the angels watch over him.


It's hard to choose a favorite memory when I think back to all the great ones I had with my grandfather. There are a few that stick out more than others. One of my earliest memories with him was when my cousins, sister, and I went to visit him at his house. The backyard was filled with pine cones, He told us that he would give us a quarter for every pine cone we picked up. Something he would regret later. We cleared the whole yard, and must have picked up hundreds of them. All the adults were surprised to see that we had committed to such a task. Another great memory takes place at one of the many beach houses that he rented for us. My Aunt Karla had brought dance costumes and helped us choreograph a dance to perform as a birthday present for him. We danced to the song Try Everything from Zootopia. Even Ray found a way to contribute by standing in front of the fireplace and stealing the show from all us girls. My grandfather always rented the best beach houses for us to stay at. I looked forward to going and seeing the family every year. I will miss this greatly. As well as the months that he spent living with us. I remember him sitting at the dining table or in the living room while my dog begged for whatever it was he would be eating. Instead of baby talking her he called her names like "stinky face" or "monkey faced dog". He had similar names for his grandchildren. Something he always did with my sister and I was a little saying. "I think you stink" where he would point to his eye, then brain, at us, and finally pinch his nose. My grandpa was a fighter, he was so strong and I aspire to be more like him. I can't imagine what the following years will be like without him, but I will always hold him close to my heart. I love you so much grandpa, may you rest peacefully.

Jack was a great father-in-law to me and an amazing grandpa to his grandchildren. He held a strong regard for his family, especially his children and grandchildren.  He adored being near his grandchildren any chance he could.  I am thankful to have had him in my life and for sharing so many wonderful memories with my children. We love you Jack and will miss you. Rest in peace! 💕🙏🏼

This obituary is beautifully written to describe such a wonderful neighbor he was to my family and me. 
Clyde and I will always treasure his sweet smile and kindness and will be praying for the entire Gabler family. 💕
