I’m just now learning of this tragedy and the tears are rolling down my face. I worked with Abel in Germany. He was the sweetest, most loyal, professional, hard-working young soldier I think I’ve ever met. I lost touch with him and was trying to locate him today to reconnect, as I have recently moved to California. I am absolutely crushed right now. I met his wife Celeste once when she came to visit him in Germany. My heart goes out to her, their children, and the rest of his family and friends. If there is ANYTHING I can do,…….PLEASE just let me know!!!
