Funeral services were held Saturday in Woodward, Okla., for Charles Harvey "Pug" Gabrel, an assistant coach under Glenn Gossett on the NSU Demon football staff from 1967-71.
Gabrel is survived by his wife, Helen, two sons, three daughters, nine grandchildren and two great grand-daughters. He was 79. He came to NSU with Gossett from NSU in 1967 and coached with John Ropp, Gene Knecht, Red Phillips and others.
He and his wife had one of the first bed-and-breakfast homes in Natchitoches when they renovated the big house on the left just past the west end of the Keyser Avenue bridge, reports NSU vice president Jerry Pierce.
Gabrel became offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Oklahoma State and also coached at Texas A&M before going into private business in the late 1970s.
