Please know that our thoughts, hearts and prayers are with you during this great loss. Treasure your memories and the good times you had.

Trooper Gall was known among the deaf residents in Hampshire County as being the cop who could sign - if he pulled them over - they knew they were in trouble! Due to no barrier in communication.

Trooper Gall will be missed by many and he always said Hampshire County was "his" county.

God bless you and give you strength.

To the family of John Gall,

We of Frederick, Maryland DeMolay are deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of such a fine man. We cannot say how much we appreciated his attending our DeMolay Degree. It meant a great deal to our young men. He expressed so many times to our young men and the adults who were present the fine job that the young men of Frederick did. Please know that his family will be in our prayers. God Bless all of you!

To the family of John Gall,
We would like to express our most deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one, John. We are the family that John lived with in Welch, when he worked for the Job Service. He rented from us from 8/16/86 to 3/12/88. John was such a fine young man and a joy to be around; he was like a member of our family!! We have often wondered where he was and what he was doing. We know that he was a blessing to everyone who knew him. Our family, my husband George, our two sons George, now 36, and Scott, now 35, and I have many fond memories of the time John was us. He was wonderful to our sons and the other young neighborhood children, such a kind spirit who always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. MAY HIS SOUL AND THE SOULS OF ALL OUR FAITHFULLY DEPARTED REST IN PEACE. AMEN. May God be with each of you and bring you peace!!
Take care and God bless,
ENJOY BEING in His good graces!!
George and Wanda Simons
