Susan, we didn't know your dad, but from his photo, he looks like a wonderful guy, full of love and life. Best wishes to you and your family. May you celebrate his best years and know that he'll be watching over you now and forever.

My sincere sympathy goes out to Lorraine, Walter, Susan, Dwight, and the entire Galler Family on your loss. I first met Al in 1982, and we became fast friends. He was a wonderful guy to be with and work with. My late wife, Ellie, and I had some unforgettable times with Al and Lorraine. Al was a true thinker, trainer, and leader of men. He will be missed by all who knew and worked with him.
