I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gale. He was my neighbor when I first moved to Gonzales in 1977. We had a lot of fun back in those days. I have and will always consider Gale a friend. May he rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Dear Boots and Family,
I note to let you know Gale will be missed by many friends and all the families. He suffers no more in this world. Funny how at times like this you remember some of the oddest things. Like going in the middle of the night to divide you all up and go back home to bed. Gail traveled a rough road yet with a wonderful heart and spirit. So sorry I couldn't be there with you today but I Feel as though I were due to all sorts of odd little memories. Take care of eachother because we never know when he'll send for us. Love you all, Cynde & Randal Daigle

My heart goes out to Gale's family. The loss of loved ones is so unbearable. He is now united with his loving sister, Jean. That loss broke his heart. I remember Gale as that good-looking, happy teenager. It's been many years since I've seen him, but I will always remember his goodness. May God be with you all through this loss.
