I am so sorry Carol and Ken. Uncle Gale was a great man and such a wonderful family man. He was loved by many and that is the legacy he will leave behind.
Carol, I’m so sorry for you our loss. I know your hope for a grand reunion one day. May precious memories bring comfort and peace.
My husband Marc and Gale remained good friends and spoke regularly, even after we no longer attended the same church. They also played on the same fantasy baseball team for the past several years! Another friend reminded me that when we attended Bethesda Church, Marc always served Gale a donut (or two) every Sunday! Gale always saved us seats and invited us to concerts and other events. Even though he was 30 years our senior, he was a wonderful friend to both of us, a great role model, talented dancer(!), and a faithful servant to our Lord Jesus Christ. Although we are sad to lose our friend, we rest easily knowing that Gale is at peace for eternity with his Savior.
Enjoyed square dancing with Gale for many years.
So sorry for your loss. Gale was sure a go getter and quite the dancer. I know he will be missed by many. Sending prayers for family and friends of comfort
Gale was loved by many square dancers in the St Louis area.
He and Jean were friends with all, they knew no strangers in square dancing. They both helped Pat and I many times.
