Gale Traywick

I am very sorry to hear about Gale's passing. I will always remember her as the very smart girl in class. I joined the military right after graduation so I lost touch with so many of my classmates, but I still remember her just like this picture. I am sorry and will pray for her family, as I know that she will be dearly missed.

I am shocked to hear of Gale's passing. We have been emailing each other over the past few years and sharing our recent life experiences. I am so sorry and extend my condolences to Gale's loved ones. She and I were good friends in high school and in college. Gale was always one of my dearest friends - a beautiful, intelligent, gentle person. I will miss her profoundly. Love to you, Gale. Tom

I was saddened to learn of Gale's final battle with her cancer. For 15 years I had breakfast every month with Gale and other HR professionals, and will miss her counsel when I had a problem, and her smile and laugh at some of the business issues we had to deal with. The statement "Any resemblance that I have to your mother is purely coincidence" is pure Gale. She always spoke lovingly of her family and was the consummate HR Professional, with very high standards and ethics. My thoughts...

Gale....you were the most fascinating women that I had ever met and ,at sixteen, one of the most beautiful that I had ever seen.I always enjoyed our conversations ,because you were so antimated with your facial expressions and that razor sharp wit.Boy did I miss that when you and Bill moved to Lansing. I never told you this but I thought you were one fantastic sister in- law.When my mom got sick before she passed away last year you made the effort to visit her in the hospital. At that time...

I knew Gale as positive outgoing and wonderful women. Hearing of her passing was a shock to say the least. My heart and prayers go to her family and loved ones. One of the world's shining stars has been extinguished.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. What a lovely lady she was. I so enjoyed Gale. We will miss her here at this agency. Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to her entire family.

My sincere sympathy to Gale's family. It was my privilege to help her with her automotive needs at Fox Ford. Especially since she drove Buicks! We will miss her .

So sorry for your loss we were classmates in high school

After a long and difficult battle Gale's passing this past Tuesday has been a resounding blow to all of us in the Magic Steel family. She was a professional in every sense of the word; giving guidance to most, a listening ear, and the benefit of countless years of human resource management experience to all. Although she might insist "any resemblance I bear to your mother is purely coincidental" she did in fact play that role for many of us. Her office was always a place to receive...
