NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, a fellow Marine veteran, eulogized Bill Gallo, an Iwo Jima Marine veteran, and accomplished cartoonist and sports columnists for the New York Daily News, at a funeral service at St. Patricks Cathedral, here, May 13 in part by reading a line from one of his columns on the Marine Corps and the death of his father as a young boy. "There was now a sense of order now in my life I never had before. I learned the things a father would teach you. That hole in my heart was starting to fill." Gallo attended Columbia University with the aid of the GI Bill after returning from the Pacific and resumed a career lasting 70 years with the paper. Gallo died May 10; he was 88 years old. Marines lined the stairs of the cathedral to salute the New York icon.
