Gary Edward Gallwas

Gary was a true public servant. He was a good friend, a good manager. And a good person. His contributions to the state through his work at Employment Security will continue long into the future.

Gary was terrific to work with at ESD. Not only was he a creative problem solver, he was great with people. That smile came from the legit inner light of a man grounded in a love of life and kindness to those around him. Though his loss is of course deeply felt by his family....what a gift of time you all had together. Kathy BF

To my dear friend Gary,
A soul I held close to my heart.
You were outgoing, full of life, and carried a positive appreciation for every moment you were given. Your joy, your presence, and your spirit touched everyone around you.

Your legacy continues in the lives you brightened, the laughter you shared, and the kindness you showed so effortlessly. I will miss you deeply, especially our conversations every six weeks when I had the privilege of seeing you and Regina (love you both).
Thank you for your unending support and friendship. To have known you for 25 years has been such an honor.

Until we meet again,
Kim Brown

I met Gary through my late father while he was living around Tempo Lake. Myself and my immediate family are sending our thoughts and prayers to Regina and Jason as they mourn the loss of Gary.

Gary led with authenticity, integrity, and kindness.
He was curious about others.
Hope their best memories of Gary will help Regina and Jason through this challenging time of acceptance.

Gary had a passion for life and family. He was a fun work mate at ESD and I will always remember his humor and professionalism. Hugs to Regina and Jason.

Rest easy my friend. You were a model of service, a loyal friend and a pretty good golfer. You will not be forgotten. I hold you in my heart with gratitude for what you did for me. Love to Regina and Jason.
