Robert “Bob” Stephen Gallo of Cincinnati, OH passed away peacefully on September 19, 2026, at the age of 73, after a short illness of pancreatic cancer. Bob was born on May 19, 1953, in Cincinnati, OH. 

He was the eldest son of C. Robert “Bob” Gallo and the late Gertrude (nee Kuehn) Gallo. While in college, Bob met the love of his life, Mary Ellen (nee Feldhues), and they were married on October 23, 1976, beginning a life together defined by an unwavering devotion to each other, and a lifetime of shared adventures. Bob graduated from Taylor High School in 1971 and from the University of Cincinnati in 1975. Bob worked for many years in the automotive business. He enjoyed antique cars, especially Mopar Muscle cars, and had an extensive knowledge of them. Bob also enjoyed collecting antique breweriana, particularly from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Whether through cars, breweriana, or simply life, the friendships he made along the way were very special - remarkable in their number, their range and their staying power.
