The youngest of seven children, Gale dedicated his life to the ministry. He served Presbyterian congregations in Wyoming and Nebraska, moving to Phoenix, AZ with his wife in 2010. Blessed with many talents, he shared them freely with others throughout his life. Many knew him as a pastor, counselor, musician, storyteller, and true friend to all who were in need of help or company. His generosity and compassion were experienced by all who shared time with Gale. Everyone was family in his eyes.
Gale was preceded in death by Kay, his wife of 70 years, and his daughter, Carol. He is survived by his sons George and David, daughter, Gianene, grandchildren, great grandchildren and special friend Rosemarie Bianchi. Gale will remain in our hearts forever, a reminder of God’s love and joy. Gale’s earthly presence will be missed by all who were blessed having him in their lives.
A memorial service will be held on September 29th at 10:30 am at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 1500 West Maryland Ave, Phoenix, AZ. Contributions to his memory can be made to the charity of your choice. For tributes please visit www.almoore-grimshaw.com
