VeniVidiScripto joins with every other historian and so many friends in expressing prayers and sympathy to his family at the death of Randy Gabrielan, former Monmouth County historian and author of dozens of books, each telling special and unique stories of a particular area.
The Middletown Historical Society, where Randy was most active and provide many events and speakers at meetings, said it best in their loving memorial to a dear friend :
“We mourn the sudden passing of our friend, Randall Gabrielan. In addition to being a prolific author and exceptional historian, Randy was a father, husband, friend, and mentor. His impact upon the historical record of Middletown and Monmouth County is immense, and he left an indelible mark on our community. He served as president of the Middletown Township Historical Society for over two decades, and most recently volunteered with us as an advisor for our speaker series and as Vice Chair of the Monmouth County Historical Commission. His accolades are too many to mention. Randy will be missed on multiple levels by many people. We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends. “
Randy was also the recipient of the M. Claire French Award for outstanding work in historic preservation. He was the source everyone turned to when they were searching out a unique feature, or wanted verification of certain facts. He was generous with his time, his talent, and his wide knowledge of Monmouth County which he loved.
Randy is now a part of the history he loved so well.
