Abel C. Gallardo

September 8, 1953 - March 6, 2022

Those who knew Abel know that he was a character like no other. For a self proclaimed person hater he was just the opposite. When Abel was asked by the attending nurse if he was allergic to anything. He would quickly reply, "just people and needles. " Sometimes they laugh or give him a look. Sometimes I had to explain he was kidding. He claimed to hate everyone but would talk to anyone and make immediate friends. Abel would give you the shirt off his back for you. You didn't even have to ask. He loved fishing. He would tell you that he caught "a big one" yet after seeing the pictures you realize, it's barely legal size. Abel was a professional camper and was quite the camp cook,(made the best greasey pancakes). The man could not resist a barbecue and was famous for his rice. Abel was also a big Longhorn fan. He had to watch every game he could. I'm sure he hated the fact that the ER doctor was an OU grad. Those who knew Abel know that he was a character like no other. Abel loved hanging out with his grandkids. He accepted the Lord as his savior. Abel will be greatly missed. He is survived by his Daughter Gloria Michelle Poole, husband Kenny R.
