Born in San Juan de Allende, Nuevo Leon. He was the son of an Aztec Indian, who was a soldier and served with Pancho Villa. At the age of 4 his family moved to the U.S., near Nuevo Laredo, where he grew up. but his mother (Sapopa) reported to the border patrol that he
was 2 years of age, because after the age 3, you had to pay at the border. Most of his life he was a migrant worker. He would load up the family and go to other states like Michigan, North Dakota, and Minnesota to work the fields; he also worked as a dish washer for a few years after that. During the late 1959 he moved to Dallas, where he eventually settled down on Richard St. In 1968 his wife, Lorenza Crescendia Lopez Hernandez, fell ill and was hospitalized for several days before passing away. He later remarried and in his later years, fell ill. After several years of being in and out of the hospital, the illness took the better of him. He had 33 Grand Children, 70 Great Grandchildren, and 17 Great Great Grand children from his first spouse Lorenza Crescencia Lopez Hernandez

Galo's hobby was to care for God's earth and help nurture the plants and flowers. Music and dancing were his joys. The laughter from his children and grandchildren brought a smile to his face every time.
Believe that tomorrow could be better than today,
That you'll get a second chance,
That you'll make a difference,
That you matter.

Thank you for your presence in
honoring our
Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather & Great Great Grandfather.
