Bernard Allan Galley died March 3 at St. Catherine’s Hospital surrounded by his family. He was born April 25, 1934, to Earl Raymond Galley and Pauline Frances Galley (Morris). His birth was not immediately announced in the Kenosha paper due to the fact that he was so premature he was not expected to live. He attended St. Thomas Aquinas school where he was an altar boy. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout and the Order of the Arrow by the age of 15 under Scoutmaster Leo Conrad at McWhyte Troop #22. He attended Lincoln Junior High School and Bradford High School, graduating in 1954. While in high school he was a member of the famous 1952-53 football teams and was the student manager of the 1952 State Champion Swim team. After graduation from high school, he attended Layton School of Art, in Milwaukee, while also working at McWhyte’s Wire Rope and spent the summers working for the City of Kenosha as a lifeguard. In March of 1952 he joined the Naval Reserves and was placed on active duty in December 1956. He was a Quartermaster and a plank owner in charge of the ship’s log of the USS Hermitage LSD 34. In January of 1958 he went through the Panama Canal on the LST Vernon County 1161. After being honorably discharged from the Navy in October of 1958 he started working at Lepp and Company as an advertising artist. In 1959 he met the prettiest girl he’d ever seen, Theresa V. Gennaccaro, and they were married June 18, 1960 in a lavish ceremony. On January 1, 1964 he was hired as a deputy sheriff with the Kenosha County Sherriff Department and retired on October 13, 1989. One of his unique assignments was as a police sketch artist. He graduated from Gateway in 1970 with an Associate's Degree in Police Science and from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1972. He also worked at Great America as a Caricature Artist from 1990 to 1994. Bernie coached the CYC Pee-Wee Eagles football team in the 70's and he fashioned the boys’ helmets to represent the NFL team. He also coached the First National Bank Little League baseball team. He was the goalie for the Sheriff’s Department hockey team when they played the police department in the first few years of the event. He was an artist and an avid outdoorsman, enjoyed hunting and fishing. He had gone deer hunting every year since 1950, except 1957 when he was on a Mediterranean cruise with the US Navy. Every year his son would take him on an extended fishing charter somewhere new and it was the highlight of his year after he retired. Love of family meant everything to Bernie. He was a wonderful father and taught that morality and truth were the means to live by. Bernie is survived by his daughter, Betty Ann Galley, Kenosha, and son Brian A. (Barbara Fischer-Galley) Salem; a sister, Earlene Queen, Bangdon, Oregon; three grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Theresa V. Galley (Gennaccaro).
