OBITUARY
Achille Primo Gallo passed away on April 13th, 2025, surrounded by family. He was born on January 1st, 1942, in Nocera Terinese, Calabria, Italy. Achille came to America in 1958 and became a barber. He owned a barber shop in Great Neck, NY, and later, another in Garden City Park, NY. In his spare time, he spent several years volunteering as a clown for children and families suffering from illness or trauma.
He is survived by his son, John Gallo; his daughter and son-in-law, Diane and Matthew Miritello; and five grandchildren: Nicholas, Thomas, Christiana, Samuel, and Tyler.
Achille loved nothing more than having his home filled with his loved ones—from family in New Hyde Park, NY, to relatives in Italy. He loved to golf. He loved making those around him smile. He enjoyed walking through his neighborhood, greeting everyone he passed. Most of all, he loved to make people laugh. His wonderful sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of laughing in his presence.
Please join us in celebrating Achille’s life on Monday, April 21st, and Tuesday, April 22nd.
