Galle was always very caring. I had a Vertigo recently and drank ginger tea using organic ginger slices Gale gave me a couple of years ago. Thank you, Galle. Thanks for your help even after left the earth. You will always live in our hearts.
I was introduced to Galle almost 23 years ago through my then manager, who was a former co-worker of Galles from his TI days. We had a project that needed someone to design and make a fixture for it and my manager instantly though of Galle. We contacted Galle and had a group meeting the next day.
A couple days later Galle invited me to lunch, at which time he offered me a position at GLA. I jumped at the opportunity.
Not only did Galle teach me a tremendous amount but he also let me expand, develope new skills, and discuss design ideas and concepts.
He chalenged me to do "the best" not just good enough.
It was not long before I was leading others, designing parts / assemblies / systems for customer product needs. With each new project came learning new skills and expanding others.
After a short while, I was traveling to major Semiconductor companies in other states and several other Countries world wide, that I never thought I would visit.
I would do training, installations and repairs on GLA designed and built equipment.
Galle also included me in trade shows.
He had the faith in me to do a good job representing GLA and the GLA products and continue to make the GL Automation name known and respected world wide.
Galle was indeed a brilliant engineer. He solved problems and created designs that were beyond the capability of most other engineers to imagine. I had the privilege of sharing an office with Galle my first years at TI. I learned a great deal from him. I still practice one of his sound pieces of advice, to never settle on a solution to a problem until I’ve come up with at least two if not three possible ways to do so. I enjoyed working with Galle at TI and later for him at GL Automation. I will greatly miss him.
