Bill Gallo, an Iwo Jima Marine veteran, and accomplished cartoonist and sports columnists for the New York Daily News, was remembered at a funeral service at St. Patricks Cathedral, here, May 13. 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. NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, a fellow Marine veteran, eulogized Gallo in part by reading a line from one of his columns. "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 had written.
