Mr. Gallien was born January 6, 1920 in Little Rock, Arkansas. He moved to Shreveport when he was six years old.

He was a World War II veteran, having served in the U.S. Air Force during the European theater from October 1942 through the war's end. He returned to The Times and remained there until his retirement. Following his retirement, you could often find him fishing on the pond behind his house in Longview, Texas.
Joe was preceded in death by his mother and father: Joseph Albert Gallien, Sr. and Rosa Wells Gallien; his wife Sally Bartell Gallien; sisters Marie Underwood, Clara Grabener and brother James Gallien.
He is survived by his children, two sons, Joseph A.

Joe lived his life to the fullest. He embraced life and made the most of each day that he was blessed to enjoy. His desire was not to show up at Heaven's Gate in well-preserved, pristine condition. Instead, to slide in sideways shake Saint Peter's hand and shout, "Whoo Hoo, what a ride!" He will be missed! Osborn Funeral Home
