          Mr. Gallier was born January 10, 1946 in Beaumont, Texas, the son of the late Woodrow Wilson Gallier and Alline (Naquin) Gallier, and died Wednesday, May 20, 2020 in Lufkin. He served in the US Navy for 4 years and Vietnam War for 1 year.

          The sun rose and set for years on a meager welding shop in Onalaska, Texas. The sign above the door said simply, “Out On Call”. On closer inspection as the Triton Guide Boat eases into the beautiful waters of Lake Livingston you could see the simple name “On Call”. Danny Gallier operated Danny’s Guide Service on Lake Livingston for nearly 30 years. It wasn’t a job but a passion. Danny was an avid fisherman as well as a fishing guide. He loved to tell jokes and make people laugh. Danny never met a stranger and was sure to always have a fishing story to tell. The sun rose for the last time for Danny here on earth, but there’s comfort in knowing he’s finally once again out on call. Tight lines Danny - we will miss you.
