Gale’s niece, Kayse Gale, posted on Facebook, “Ed hitched a experience to California when he was twenty years previous, with $41 and a dream, and he by no means appeared again. He lit up the silver screens in cult traditional movies like Howard the Duck and Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, incomes himself some severe road cred at each con he attended. Which he by no means stopped bragging about. Ever. Over the course of his profession he appeared in over 130 films, TV reveals, and commercials. With this large ranging physique of labor, he leaves behind legacy stuffed with questionable lighting and wonderful one-liners. 

“Ed’s favorite role was that of the ‘fun uncle.’ His love language was sharing his love of the entertainment industry and the magic of Hollywood with his nieces.  Ed loved 7 eleven hotdogs with disgusting amounts of ketchup. He enjoyed reminiscing about his glory days DJing at the Plainwell roller rink. He hated Bill Maher for no good reason. He delighted in the slow build up of telling a good story, and cheating at cribbage.  He had one hell of a laugh, and he will be missed. Rest in love you cranky bastard.”
