Maurice Gallow Obituary
Born in San Francisco on January 13, 1967, Mo became a resident of Heaven on April 24, 2014.
Mo was the most loving, caring, giving person who ever walked this earth. His passion was family, friends, cars, bikes, and anything with wheels. He had a heart of gold, and you could see the love he had for his family and friends by the way he joked, laughed, and enjoyed everyone's company.
Mo is survived by his "one and only," Stephanie; his loving parents, Willie and Irene; parents-in-law, Bob and Evelyn; brother, Leonard (Susan); sister, Francine (Bill); brother-in-law, Mike (Sandy); four nephews, two nieces, one great-nephew and six great-nieces.
A funeral Mass will be held Friday, May 2 at 11 a.m. at Holy Rosary Church, 301 Walnut Street in Woodland. A reception will follow at the Elks Lodge, 500 Bush Street in Woodland.

It's been 8 years yet it still seems like yesterday. My heart still aches for you. So much has changed since you left us. I wish everyday that you were here to be the best uncle to my grandkids as I'm sure we would be fighting over them. I'm sure you were there to welcome Leonard just as you did dad. You're kindness always shines through no matter what. I miss you so much. Until we meet again. I luv you Boo.

Our family was very sorry to hear the news that Maurice (aka Boobie) recently passed away.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Fran, Willie, Irene and their extended family members. Maurice will continue to live in our hearts and via our continued thoughts and prayers until we are all reunited again some day in heaven.
Sincerely,
Marco Sozzi & Family
CONCORD, CALIFORNIA

It's been 12 weeks since you left us. I would give anything to see you, hug you, talk to you one more time. I can't say I understand why your gone but have seen some things lately that only you could have done for us. I am very grateful to have an angel like you watching over all us. Although I still wish you were right by my side. I look forward to visiting with you in my dreams and wait for the day that we are together again. I luv u and miss u soooo much. Don't forget to visit me.

Mo, to say you will be greatly missed is an understatement. I will never forget when I first met you. It was my first day on the floor at Starbucks and my manager introduced me to you saying that you were the most important customer, and sure enough you became my most important and favorite customer (and I'm not supposed to admit to favorites). God always picks the best angels to be with him in heaven. Although you are far away you will remain in our hearts. Thank you for the great memories.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY, I WILL NEVER FOR GET THE DAY WE MET BACK IN 2000 DURING TRAFFIC SCHOOL WITH THE NAME OF THE CLASS BEING " TRAFFIC IS MY NAME HUMOR IS MY GAME" I WALKED IN THINKING MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG DAY. AS THE CLASS FILLED UP WE ALL STARTED CHATTING AT THE TABLE AND THEN MO STARTING CRACKING JOKES ABOUT THE NAME OF THIS CLASS SAYING I HAD TO PICK THIS ONE JUST BASED ON THE NAME. WE ALL LAUGHED. SINCE THE WHOLE CLASS PRETTY MUCH DID THE SAME THING. THEN COME TO FIND OUT WE HAD A LOT OF FRIENDS IN COMMON. THE CLASS WAS GREAT WITH HIS JOKES AS WELL AS THE ONES FROM THE TEACHER. THANKS FOR MAKING ALL OF US LAUGH YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN MY FRIEND. FLY HIGH AND RIDE THE WAVES OF HEAVEN. TILL WE MET AGAIN.
