Fast forward to today, the system had been reinstalled (new hardware, new disks, etc) and I no longer have that ability.  I'm currently runn Fedora 28 and the desktop is "Gnome", I'm sure it is just a matter of installing/configuring/running the correct application.... but which one?

That's handled by gnome-keyring and, as of this version of GNOME, ssh-agent.  As far as I can tell, those are both required components, so they're probably not missing on your workstation. The problem *might* be that GNOME keyring will only automatically unlock private keys if there is a valid public key with the same name, and a .pub suffix.  So, you might not have the public keys. Or, you might have a .pub file that's *really* old and no longer valid.

There is an open bug concerning the fact that if there is an invalid .pub file in .ssh, GNOME keyring won't automatically unlock *any* keys, so remove any old key files.
