STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE DEATH OF BILL GALLO

“For more than half a century, Bill Gallo chronicled the highs and lows of the New York City sports world with all the passion of our most zealous fans. He brought smiles to our faces in both victory and defeat, by celebrating heroes and satirizing goats with such humor and heart. Though most of his cartoons ran in black and white, his colorful voice was a hallmark of the Daily News and a real New York institution. As the sports and newspaper industries have undergone major changes, Bill Gallo was a constant, timeless presence. He will be missed by millions, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”
