Gale helped to start the Messiah Lutheran Church in Underwood. He also ministered at the Salvation Army. Gale and Becky are both members of Cornerstone Church in Fergus Falls.

Gale loved animals but he especially loved cats – especially his Tommy Cat! He enjoyed fishing and loved reading. He read his Bible every day and loved to help people to know Jesus. He was a friend to so many. Gale loved watching football, and rooted for the Vikings. He was also an avid whisk player and loved lutefisk and popcorn dripping in butter!
