    Knew and worked with Gale for several years. He was a no nonsense kind of guy that wanted to "get things done" but open to suggestions from others. I enjoyed working with him, and knowing him as an individual.
    My condolences to the family. He will be missed by many. He always seemed to be most chipper when I spoke with him as he was heading back to his family. Prayers extended.
