Albert R. Griffith

Albert R. Griffith, 75, of Orlando, died April 8, 2018. Our loving father went to be with God at 4:10 AM, with his family by his side.  Albert "Reese" Griffith always put others above himself and was devoted to that ideal throughout his life.   We all knew him as Butch, Reese, Al, Dad, Sir, Big Al, Big Papa and Grandpa.   Born in Sharon, PA, he found the love of his life, Carolle (Clark) Griffith, and they were married 53 years.  During his banking career, he built several branches into top lending offices and was recognized for highest gains and lowest losses.  He served on Board of Directors of Youngstown Chapter American Institute of Banking and Advancement Chairman of the Big Arrow District for Boy Scouts of America.

In 1984, he moved his family to Orlando, FL and became an active member of the West Orange community.  West Orlando Rotary nominated him for Rotarian of the Year in 1992 for his ‘unbelievable commitment to Rotary in all areas of participation’.  Long before he started to have a need for a wheel chair, he spent much of his free time helping others gain back independence by building ramps. In 1999 he received Rotary International ’Service Above Self’ award. Al also served on the West Orange Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors as VP for presidential programs and co-chaired the Economic Development Task Force of Vision West Orange. His contributions helped lead to Sun Trust Bank being recognized as Member of the Year in 1995 for ‘contributions above and beyond the call of duty to assist the Chamber in many ways’.  He also became known to family and friends for making and donating blankets to anyone who asked or was in need. He found his niche and made over 200 blankets; donating them to Community Care for the Elderly, Lockheed Martin Seniors Program, West Orlando Rotary Club, Osceola Wound Center, and as baby gifts to friends at work.

A big thank you to Dr. Walter Conlan III and staff at Osceola Wound Center for healing Albert’s diabetic foot ulcer and Dr. Dean Cole for the 5 screws in his foot to give him 10 more years with us.

He was proud of his sons and daughter-in-laws, all graduates of UCF, and loved dearly his 6 grandchildren. He is further survived by his sisters, sister and brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews, whom he loved and looked forward to their visits.  We all loved him and will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers or service, Dad requested gifts to your favorite charity. God bless.

Cecille attended Whitfield Town All-Age School, North Street Seventh Day Adventist School and Tutorial College. As a child growing up Cecille had a passion and a love for nursing, and after graduating from Tutorial College in 1967 she received a Government Scholarship to East Surrey Hospital School of Nursing in London, England. Cecille was elated to stay the least. Prior to leaving for London, Cecille had a brief encounter with a dapper gentleman by the name of Dennis Hall, at the Registrar General Office (aka Record Office) in Spanish Town. She urgently needed to obtain a birth certificate to apply for her Passport to leave for London. Dennis was quite happy to expedite this request for this attractive young lady. It just so happens that the birth certificate was completed that same day around lunch time and Dennis invited her to lunch. She accepted, and after lunch went back home, while Dennis returned to work. Cecille obtained her Passport shortly thereafter and went to London. They stayed in contact over the next two years and became engaged by Proxy in 1968. In September of 1970, Cecille fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a Registered Nurse, and returned to Kingston, Jamaica. In December 1970, Dennis and Cecille got married. Cecille worked for a short time at the Nuthall Hospital in Kingston, then migrated to New York in late 1971. Dennis joined Cecille in August 1972. While in New York, she worked for Visiting Nurse Services and at South Nassau Community Hospital in Long Island where she was a Charge Nurse. As a Passionate Charge Nurse, she made it her way of life, and conducted several health seminars throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Another lifelong passion of Cecille from an early age was her commitment to her church and putting the Lord first. There wasn’t a scripture or gospel song she didn’t know. She took her love for the Lord seriously, and only missed church when she had to work. In 1973 Dennis and Cecille decided it was time to add to the family, and Cecille gave birth to her first daughter Lisa, and her second daughter Tenille followed in 1977. Dennis’s children from Jamaica, Sandra and Tony joined the family in 1978. She enjoyed being a mother and gave this new and expanded role her all, from sewing clothes, to cooking to shopping for her family, Cecille did it all with love and commitment, always putting God first and foremost in their lives. In 2002 the family relocated to Florida and Cecille worked for a couple of years, after which she went into retirement.

Cecille took being a grandmother to 3 beautiful girls as a gift from God, she instilled her class, grace and the love of the Lord in their lives.  After retiring Cecille joined her husband Dennis in Orange County Sheriff’s Office as a volunteer for the Citizens on Patrol Program. She enjoyed this new position of keeping her neighborhood of 254 homes safe with her husband (A program he started in Pine Hills), and after 10 years, Cecille had to retire from the Citizens on Patrol Program due to poor health. Cecille received numerous awards for her many devoted years of unselfish hospitality, commitment and service to her communities. Cecille lived the remainder of her life under doctor’s care and passed peacefully from this life on the evening of October 24^th 2018 at her residence. She was surrounded and supported by her loving family and caregivers during the last days of her life.

Gladys Ann Gallo

On July 15, 2018, Gladys Ann Gallo went to be with our Lord after declining health. Gladys (nee Endrizal) entered our world on August 19, 1927 in Lorain, Ohio.  As a teenager, she worked in a drugstore soda fountain, enjoyed sewing, drama and was a member of the National Honor Society.  At age 18, Gladys left Ohio for the adventures of Washington D.C. and training as an R.N. at Washington General Hospital.

Gladys went on a blind date with an Army GI because she was told he was “good for a steak dinner.”  After dating a few years, many steak dinners, and attending operas, Gladys and Ralph were married in 1949.  They continued to live in Washington D.C. while he completed his engineering degree at George Washington University on the GI bill.  He would later attribute his education to Gladys since she demanded that he complete his degree.  In 1950, Gladys and Ralph moved to Wilmington Delaware for a job opportunity, later settling in Newark, Delaware where they raised a family of four children.  As the children aged, Gladys attended the University of Delaware, graduating with a degree in Home Economics and became a teacher in Wilmington-area high schools, where she taught cooking, life skills and organized a student-run restaurant.

Surviving are Gladys’ children:  Christopher Gallo of Austin, TX, Blaise Gallo of Folsom, CA, Audrey Gallo-Freas of Houston, TX, Dolores Gallo of Winter Springs, FL, and seven grandchildren.  She is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Raphael Edmund Gallo, and one grandson, Victor Gallo.

She was active in her church, St. Stephens Catholic Community, on the Bereavement committee, Women’s Club and Book Club.   She was also active in many of the activities at St. Luke’s Lutheran School that required sewing skills while her granddaughter attended.  Her interests included sewing, gardening, attending theater and musical performances, and spending time with her family at the beach.

Funeral mass services will be held Monday, July 23, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Stephens Catholic Community Chapel, Winter Springs, Florida.  The family will receive friends at a luncheon at the church following the service.  Gladys will be interred at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery to rest eternally beside her husband.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorials are made to Gladys’ favorite charity, the American Red Cross, 5 North Bumby Avenue, Orlando, 32803.
