I worked with Johnny at Washington and Jefferson College. He was truly a walking tool box. When I needed a certain size drill bit, Johnny had it in his pocket. Needed a special star bit, Johnny had it in his pocket. He always made me laugh about all the storys from concerts when he was young to deer hunting for his first time. You will be missed John Gallo. It was a pleasure being your friend
