James Gallo, 84, of Baytown, Texas, passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in Baytown. James was born on Dec. 18, 1939, in Los Angeles, Calif., to the late Tony Gallo and Camilla Curtner Blanton.
Throughout his life, James was known for his hard work and dedication. He served our country in the Marines and the Army. He spent many years as a milkman for Borden’s in Baytown and as a bread delivery driver for Sunbeam, along with multiple other adventures like owning a fuel station in Baytown, Texas, at one point, but eventually retiring after a long career. He was a loyal and caring man who found joy in the simple things: spending time with family, riding and tinkering on his four-wheelers, and heading out to the range to practice his shooting.
A deeply spiritual man, James was active in his faith and a devoted member of Mercy Gate Church in Mont Belvieu, Texas. His strength, loyalty, and steadfast character left a lasting impact on those around him. Always on the go, James had a boundless energy and a giving spirit that friends and family cherished.
