Sorry to hear the sad news of Gales passing. I will always cherish my Church visitations with you both as we received communion together many times in your home. The conversations we had about all manner of things was always educated and enjoyable and I will miss him as I miss you since we moved to North Carolina. I am happy to have seen him on October 29th following our last  visit to Ohio to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary when he told me his bad news and how to find you since your move. Words are difficult to put together at this sad time albeit for you to know that in "sure and certain hope" of the resurrection of our Lord ,Gale will be with our God forever. 
To Janet, family, and all who mourn we send our condolences.

Your friends in North Carolina , Bill and Pat Train.

Gale and I grew up together. Before grade school we were "next door" neighbors. Walking turned into bicycles. Later, something with four wheels, doors and an engine came along which helped us along different paths, outlooks and direction. A phone call or email would bring back memories about where he was going, or what I was fixing. Those reminders helped me to see where I was and that the next problem isn't insurmountable.
He will be missed.
During this time of sorrow, may his family and friends have Peace, Comfort and Encouragement.

I only knew you from Social media but you were always kind and friendly. My best to your family
John

I'm sorry to hear that Gale died.  I used to know him a lifetime ago at the Daniels Bible Study.

So very sorry for your loss. I am in his Facebook group Growing Up In Central Ohio 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Brought back lots of great memories. His legacy lives on.

Gale will live on through his wonderful Facebook site. So many smiles he has put on hundreds of faces.  RIP.

God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

I think only by God's grace,  Gale sees his salvation realized now. 
For the rest of us still here on Earth, may God, through The Lord
Jesus, bless you with the joy of salvation for the forgiveness of sins.
"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name 
under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Acts 4:12

Thanks for sharing all the Columbus memories Gale. RIP

Gale and I meet at good old KHS, and I reminded him once that he came to my rescue.  He was like that, he offered help willingly and freely.  As we connected on FaceBook, I appreciated his sense of humor and quick wit.  He was also free to show his vulnerable and much more human side.  He was brave beyond his own understanding, and faced the ultimate with great dignity and with faith.  I will miss Gale very much, but I know he has finally found the peace he so much wanted, and he has been welcomed into the open arms of God.

I met Gale at DFR. I didn't know him very long or very well until the second time we ate together and had a chance to talk. What a good heart. To Gale's family may you be comforted in the knowledge that Gale is with his Heavenly Father and that we will meet again. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace and comfort.

God Bless and Thank YOU, Gale for your service... RIP ...  And Semper Fi..   Soldier.

As a Brother-In-Law to Gale, I was very appreciative of the love and support he showed my sister Janet.  When Gale & Janet married, he knew of Janet's situation with MS and he gladly and willingly accepted that challenge.  For that, we are all forever grateful.  He will be missed by many.  I also would like to thank everyone for all of the comments, thoughts and prayers that have been said and those that will be said.  It is very much appreciated.  Gale, be in peace and be with God and his angels.

Gale’s page took me back to my childhood and brought back so memories. I thank him for that, for remembering the happy times!
Prayers to his family, I am sure he will be greatly missed. Fly high with the angel now Gale!

Because of his facebook page, Gale took me back to my childhood, all of the memories, places, people and things that happened as I grew up in the 50's and 60's reminded me that life seemed so simple, there are some happy memories there.  Gale made it possible for us to reach out to others who grew up in our community.   Remember all things past...such fond memories.  Condolences to his family.

I didn't know Gale, but he helped me to recall things from long ago. In reading his obituary, it really sounds like I would have liked and admired him. So sorry for your loss.

Gale was a very special and unique person in my life.  I met him around 1990 and then we reconnected a couple of years ago which was a blessing to us both.  I wish that I could have been more help to him in his final months.  He will always be in my heart and bring a smile with thoughts of him.  He adored his beloved wife Janet and was only ever concerned for her well being.  He was an honorable man, one of great respect and concern for the world around him.  Fly high and fly free now my friend, you will be greatly missed, but we are all blessed to have known you <3  Much love and blessings to all who knew and loved Gale.

Gale took me back to my childhood - a place I had thought was better forgotten.  Going through all of the memories, places, people and things that happened as I grew up in the 60's and 70's reminded me that it wasn't ALL bad....there are some happy memories there.  I joined this group only recently and wish now I had known about it sooner and been able to get to know Gale better.  He did an awesome thing starting that group....so many people have reconnected and contribute tons of cool things I had long ago let go of.  Fly high with the angels, Gale, and, thank you for giving me back something no one else ever did.....my childhood.

Although I didn’t know Gale personally, I knew him well through his Facebook group. His group provided a place for old friends to reunite, a place to meet new friends with similar memories of Central Ohio, and a place to learn and reminisce.  My condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing his time with all of his Facebook friends.

As his only brother, I want to thank all of the people who treated Gale as a friend and family member for many, many years.  Due to some prenatal conditions Gale was "wired" a bit differently than most of us.  He had a wonderful sense of humor, a great caring for others, an unwaverin faith in God, and the "gift of gab" with individuals as well as in groups small and large.  
He also had times of great internal conflict and need that often pushed away those he needed most.  His circle of friends was large, and those who stuck with him through his times if dealing with his "wiring" we're truly angels on Earth.
I knew Gale as a brother. 
I wish I could have known him better as a friend.
