Leroy Gallas, 92 went to be with his Lord on July 10, 2016. He was born on March 9, 1924 to E.F. and Louise Gallas of Miles, TX. Leroy was the second oldest of 8 children. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers and sisters; Clinton Gallas, Melvin Gallas, Ellen Elkins, Edna Marie Rice, and Nelda Riddle. His brothers and sisters will be remembered as a family that truly cared and loved for each other. Their love grew out of the fact that they grew up during the depression and learned the only thing they had to rely on was each other. Leroy was a Korean War veteran, serving in Okinawa, Japan. After the war he went back to school and received his GED and also took classes at the old San Angelo College. He went to work at the Clinic Hospital in the billing department, staying there until retirement, then known as Angelo Community Hospital. On July 3, 1952 Leroy married Helen Huss. They had one daughter, Karen in 1959. Helen preceded him in death on February 15, 2011. He is survived by daughter Karen and husband Richard Henshaw of San Angelo; sisters, Lenora Reid of Lawn, TX and Amy Dickson of San Angelo; and numerous nieces and nephews and their families.
