Obituary: Gale A. Holloway
Gale A. Holloway was born to Bernard and Sylvia Holloway in Baraboo, Wis., on Sept. 22, 1946, and passed away on April 2, 2024. He spent his last days surrounded by his loving wife, Cheryl, their daughters, and close friends.
Education and Career
Gale graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in civil engineering in 1970. He served in the U.S. Army for a brief time and then worked for the DNR until his retirement. He then co-founded Alieus Engineering, LLC so he could continue to provide support to those involved with the fish ladders and barriers.
Passions and Hobbies
Gale loved the outdoors. Some of his favorite hobbies included fishing, camping, hunting, beekeeping, birdwatching, model airplane piloting, motorcycle rides, photography, and gardening. His gardens at his home in DeForest were a great source of pride. He also cherished his time spent with family at “The Hill.”
Gale was a man of many indoor interests as well. He was always learning and tinkering with new ideas. His garage and basement gave him space to fix cars and boats, repair model airplanes, make wine, work with wood, and create biodiesel to power his beloved Volkswagens. He will be remembered as the person who could fix anything from toasters to tractors and provided sound advice on any subject until his very last days with us.
Community Involvement
Gale shared his time and talents with his children and others through 4-H leadership for over 25 years. He built the potato stand used at the Dane County Fair to raise funds for the program. Gale also poured his heart and soul into creating thousands of craft projects for the Sunday School program at church. He loved teaching Sunday School and shared his deep love of music and guitar playing with the children. His joy of music inspired him to start the Alieus church band and spent endless hours rehearsing for performances. Gale and Cheryl were active members of Living Water Church. He was also a member of the Gideons for several years and served on the Board for the Norway Grove Cemetery.
Cooking and Family
Gale found a love for cooking and baking. He soon started making cheesecakes for every gathering he attended. He also lovingly created wedding cakes for his three daughters, showcasing his engineering and creativity. Grandpa Gale’s grandchildren will forever cherish memories created while riding roller coasters, making breakfast after a sleepover, participating in Easter egg hunts, celebrating Christmas together, and when he came to school and sporting events. Gale’s love for music was only surpassed by the pride he took in his grandchildren’s musical talents.
