John (Big Tony) Gallo
March 25, 1949 - December 19, 2019
John (Big Tony) Gallo, 70, of Midvale, Utah, passed away on 19 December 2019. He was born to parents Anthony and Mary Gallo, on 25 March 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
After over 40 years of outstanding service, John retired from the Boilermakers Union in 2005.
He enjoyed duck hunting, cooking (but not straight from recipes), pheasant hunting as an English Lord, debating all subjects, shooting, collecting books and war memorabilia, sharing stories and his passions with other people, creating new designs to vacuum into the carpet (which you couldn’t walk on), decorating for holidays, as well as yard work and gardening.
John is survived by son Anthony (Brittney Johnson) Gallo, and brother Ritchie (Kathy) Gallo.
Services for close friends and family (as per John’s wishes) were performed 28 December, 2019 at Saint Therese of The Child Jesus Catholic Church, afterwards John was laid to rest at Mount Calvary Cemetery.
The family wishes to thank Starks Funeral Parlor as well as the members of Saint Therese of The Child Jesus Catholic Church for their help and compassion during this time.
In Loving Memory
The time we all had together was too short. We will all meet and be together again. We will keep in touch and look out forTony. Love you Cathy and Richie.❤️
John, you were a good man you will be missed by all who knew you Rest In Peace my friend.
I am so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. He was a good friend and confidant. His contributions to the Boilermaker trade helped pave the way for the newer generations of Boilermaker journeymen. RIP my friend.
God Bless, we had a lot of laughs together. I always remember my 7 course Irish Feast from you on Saint Patrick’s Day!!!�� A 6 pack and a potato. I’ll always keep you in my prayers.
RIP Tony. You were the best BA Local 182 ever had. Until we meet again in Valhalla my friend.
I was lucky enough to know Tony for a few months in 2019. There was a lot of laughter, food talk and praise about his son. My prayers for the family for peace and happiness during this grieving process.
In Loving Memory
