Gale Smieja,




Gale Smieja, age 67 of Plymouth, passed away very peacefully with his family at his side. Kindness is the word that keeps coming to mind. Lover of the Grand Marais area and the Gunflint Trail. Famous Moose caller, ardent fisherman, hunter, Grand Champion jam/jelly maker and amazing cook.

Gale is survived by his wife, Susan; son, Mike; daughter, Molly; grandchildren, Vinny and Rory.

The sunset on the 27th told us that he is in heaven greeting all his beloved dogs and cats. He will always have a place in our hearts forever.

Please, in his name, donate to the Animal Humane Society of Minnesota, in lieu of flowers. Memorial service later.
