Haunting Owls
Halloween seems to bring out the creativity in pet owners who make the cutest, cleverest, and funniest costumes for their dogs, big and small, to parade around in. There are even costumes for feline pets, but I wouldn’t try putting one any of on my own cats unless I planned to look like a flesh-torn zombie afterward.
Francesco Franco Gallo
Francesco Franco Gallo died peacefully in his San Jose home on April 13, 2009. Franco was 83-years-old. He is survived by his wife, Giuseppina, sons, Tino and Carmine, four grandchildren, Franceso, Nick, Josephine and Lela, brothers Angelo and Nino, sister Ersilia Iacomini, and two daughters-in-law Donna and Vanessa, and multiple nieces and nephews. He died after an 18-month battle with Esophageal cancer. In his final weeks, Franco was surrounded by family and friends in his beloved home in San Jose. Born in Andretta, in the hills of Southern Italy, his family moved to Ethiopia when he was twelve. From the ages of 16-21, Franco was held in a British concentration camp with other Italians until the end of the World War II. His vision, courage and faith allowed him to see a world beyond the confines of his camp. After returning to Italy, he married his childhood sweetheart, Giuseppina. They lived in Milano where Franco worked as a police officer. In 1956, they moved to America where Franco worked as an engineer for Palo Alto-based Varian Associates for more than thirty years. The family resided in San Jose, CA, a town Franco loved so much, he found it difficult to travel elsewhere, always yearning to return to "the best place on earth."
