William Leslie Gallamore II

In 1979, I was a young man exiting Ft. Lewis. Pioneer had reached out to the Army for a "Veteran" and so, I found myself in an interview with Les. I remember his quiet dignified demeanor making me think that while I knew nothing of Printing, I needed to work there. It was a Thursday and he offered me the job to start the following Monday. When I said that I couldn't accept because I'd still be in the Army (I had 1 more week to go), I'll never forget that he was taken aback. When he asked...

Hello Gallamore family, My condolences on the loss of your Dad. My father, Dick Toth, worked with Les at Pioneer Business Forms and both my parents held both of yours in high regard.

Dear Gallamore family; a note to say how sorry I am that you have lost your Dad. Les worked with my father (Richard Toth) at Pioneer Business Forms. My Dad valued Les on the job, and Dad and Mom (Marylou) treasured Les' and Marlene's company at various social events. May Les be scoring all the hockey goals now!

Worked at Print NW in Pressroom where Les was our GM , he would stop by the press and a conversation would start about home projects going on and or golf and before I realized it an hour would go by and then I would have to pad my hourly timesheet. Les was instrumental in running the company golf tourney and they were a blast . Les was a great storyteller and a impeccable dresser the monogram on his shirt cuffs said it all. My condolences to the the Gallamore family , John Swanson
