William Gallo Obituary

William C. A. Gallo May 1, 1952 – August 27, 2025 William C. A. Gallo, 73, of Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at the home of his aunt and uncle, Gloria and Cletus Dick, where he lived for many years. Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on May 1, 1952, he was the son of the late Stephen and Rita (Dick) Gallo. A lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley, William was a 1971 graduate of Liberty High School. Following graduation, he built a career as an electrician, working in the appliance industry, where he was valued for his skill, dedication, and strong work ethic. Outside of his profession, William had a deep passion for cars. He found great joy in working on them-whether repairing, restoring, or simply spending time under the hood. His love for hands-on work reflected not only his talents but also his perseverance and determination. William enjoyed riding motorcycles and camping at Knoebel's in Elysburg. William is survived by his sisters: Monica Gallo Treuil of Houston, Texas, and Rosanne Haskett and her husband Michael, also of Houston, Texas and his feline partners: Bentley and Whitey. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Christine, whose memory he carried with him throughout his life. Services will be private and held at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are entrusted to the Heintzelman Funeral Home, Inc. – Hellertown. To share expressions of sympathy and memories with the family, please visit www.heintzelmancares.com. Memorial contributions may be sent in William's name to the Church of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Parish, 1408 Easton Rd. Hellertown, PA 18055.

Billy, thank you for all the wonderful memories that will stay with us forever—camping at Knoebel’s, riding the three-wheelers and snowmobiles, tinkering with our cars when something wasn’t quite right, and always being there to lend a hand. We’ve always considered you our brother, and your absence leaves a space that can’t be filled. You’ll be deeply missed by all of us, especially Mom and Dad.

Rest in peace!
With love,
Matt, Lisa, and Kain
