SHREWSBURY, Mass. - Arthur Gall, 91, died peacefully Dec. 8, 2010, at home, after having surpassed his goal of living until he was 90. He was born April 3, 1919, in Burnstead, N.D., to Edward and Pauline Stockburger Gall. There were five boys in Art's family, Edward, Arthur, Leo, Ervin and Noyal. Leo and Noyal survive him. Art was raised on the family farm in Burnstead, N.D., attended school in Burnstead, N.D., and graduated from Wishek High School in 1938. After graduation Art taught school in Burnstead, N.D., and helped on the family farm until he enlisted in the Navy in 1942. Art assumed many roles in the Navy, including fire-fighting instructor, supply manager and radio technician. When his superiors realized his skill in working with radios and his gift for fixing things, Art was assigned responsibility for maintaining the transmitter on Johnston Island, a primary mode of communication to the mainland. Art was proud to have served his country and told many stories of his life in the Navy, including one journey on the ship when, during a storm, a huge wave nearly washed him into the Pacific Ocean. He was stationed in Hawaii for most of his enlisted years. Upon returning to civilian life, Art took advantage of the GI Bill and attended North Dakota State University, where he met Mary Jane Shurr, who he married Nov. 26, 1947.
Art is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jane. Art and Jane nurtured four children, all of whom are married, Brenda and Richard Angotti of Millinocket, Karol and Robert Wollenburg of New York City, Dean and Elaine Gall of Christiansburg, Va., and Fae and David Nason of Shrewsbury, Mass. Art will be lovingly remembered by his 11 grandchildren, who he adored, Giovanni Angotti, Melissa Angotti Barton, Mario Angotti, Damaris Wollenburg Maclean, Matthew Wollenburg, Stephan Wollenburg, Evan Gall, Tyler Gall, Joshua Nason, Benjamin Nason and Paul Nason. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Cailan and Owen Barton.
Private interment with military honors will be at Maine Veterans Cemetery, Augusta.
