    Debbie and Family, So sorry to learn of John’s passing. Bob and I have fond memories of the both of you from working at Johnson and Johnson. It’s funny we were just thinking of the two of you the other day. Since moving to Fl. 5 years ago we have lost touch with many people. Our deepest sympathy to you and his Family… Kathy and Bob Vieira Friends from Johnson and Johnson

    To all of John Gallo’s family– I am so sorry to learn that your brother and uncle and fiance John has left this earthly existence at too young an age. It is not surprising, however, that he has gone on to continue his role as care-giver to his mother as he had done for eighteen years. The year 2020 will be forever etched in your hearts with sadness, as will mine. May God bless you all. With sympathy and compassion, Pat VanKouwenberg

    John Gallo. OMG. We were such good friends. My dad often claimed “we were joined at the hip”. Moving On was our tv show in our early days. Watching in his room on Embury Rd. Big Jim and Aunt Millie’s house. We dreamed of open road trucking he and I. CB radios and model trains. Fresh Italian bread and cold cuts. Always at the ready. I could fill a day with stories of our adventures. Camping. Chasing racing. He was a true open wheel race fan. Watkins Glen. Nazareth. Quebec. Cleveland. Toronto. Many exciting weekends. Too many good memories. I hope my friend enjoyed some of his retirement he planned at 55. I could go on and on. Rest In Peace John C. Gallo. Till we meet again. May God bless and keep you.
