  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, today, I am deeply saddened to share the 
news of the passing of Thomas Gallo, Sr.

[[Page E703]]

  Thomas Gallo, Sr. was born on June 1, 1923 to Natale Gallo and Mary 
Gisappa. One of four brothers and a sister, he leaves Mary Rose Maley, 
Adeline Grosbeck, and Virginia Dunlap. He also leaves three sons, 
Natale Gallo, Thomas Gallo, Jr. and Timothy Gallo.
  Thomas was the founder and owner of the McDonald Welding and Machine 
Co, and a member of the Knights of Columbus. Thomas was also a U.S. 
Army Veteran, having served during WWII.
  Thomas Gallo Sr. will be sorely missed in the McDonald community. He 
touched the lives of many people, and was adored by all who had the 
privilege to know him. He was a great community leader, husband, 
father, and friend. I extend my deepest sympathy to his friends and 
family.
