      Mary I am so sorry for your loss, My name is Jay Gal, My father Jan 13 2018 which had the same name as John Gal. I was doing a search for unclaimed property. looked like it was a lot too, if you look at illinois unclaimed property site and put in his name it will show you.

      hope it works out the Gal family.

  4. I remember all the stories John told me about the old country growing up on the farm and also about the times that the family had during the war between the Germans and the Russians invading the homeland it was a very hectic and crazy it had to be very difficult to survive but he managed and he did good and was able to come over here and raise a family and be in important asset to the community. And he always love to feed the cats and talk to him he really enjoyed seeing them all the time. He was very nice to me in the short time that I knew him. And I wish all the family peace and sympathies during their Of grief.
