On the morning of July 13, 2019 Gale Blanchard Littler passed away after a battle with multiple myeloma cancer; surrounded by family at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa FL. Gale was 75 years old.
He was cremated and his ashes will be spread, as he wished, at the Wallerville Hunting Camp where he thrived and felt so at home. Hunting, fishing and ATV riding were some of the things that he enjoyed the most. Gale had such a great personality and never met a stranger. He had such a wonderful joking sense of humor. He will be missed by so many people across many states that he met throughout his journey through life.
Gale was preceded in death by his father and mother, Lawrence and Clara Littler and two great grandchildren, Beckham and Berklee Tenney.
Gale is survived by his wife of 32 yrs, Nancy Simpson Littler. Two brothers; John Littler and wife Cindy of Fairhaven VT, and Bill Littler and wife Judy of Rutland, VT. His three sons and their wives; Larry Littler and wife Michele, Todd Littler and wife Kristin, Jason Littler and wife Chasity and Stepson C.B. Phillips and wife Tina. He is survived by five grandchildren; Chelsea Tenney and husband Dakota, Karli Lee and husband Todd, Tristan Littler, Brandon and Jadon Littler and two step grandsons, Anthony and Hank Phillips. Three great grandchildren Blake Tenney, Madison and Karsyn Lee.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL. The staff there were so great with Gale and the family. He was cremated at Cremations of Greater Tampa Bay and they have a website and page for familycondolences where final personal comments can be shared. https://cremationstampabay.

Nancy,
When I first met him, I was a new leader at food and wine and he had to whip me into shape, and he did. I will miss his smile

Gale was a comfort to me to know that he was always there for my Mom and Dad.
There was always laughter when I was visiting my parents and he would stop by.
I wish I could have a little more time to enjoy his visits.
He will be missed a lot from your Indiana friend.

Nancy and family, I am so sorry you lost your husband, brother, dad and G’pop.
I met Gale and Nancy in 2008 while working at Disney.. we were new and they took us into their Disney family.
Gale was always so kelpgul. I was so happy when we worked in the same area.
We took a cruise with them and had a blast..
Gale will be missed by many but we will always keep him in our hearts.

Nancy and family, I am so sorry you lost your husband, father, brother, and grandpa. We met Gail and Nancy in 2008 when we started working for Disney. We didn’t know anybody and they immediately took us into their Disney family. We had many fun years of working together
We took a cruise together and had a blast. Y’all touched many people. All of us
All of us have so many wonderful memories and we will keep Gail alive in our hearts. I’m sending hugs to all of you

Nancy and Boys you all should feel very proud of the kind of man Gale was. Very gentle, kind, loving, happy, smiling he was.
No matter how bad I saw he was when I visited the last week of June, he never complained about him he was always concerned
if everyone else was doing okay. I’m so very thankful I got to spend one of the last weeks of his life with him. Celebrated is Birthday before I left to fly home. I will cherish that week and think of him to how wonderful the memories are for me even spending everyday in the hospital with him. Thank You again Nancy for allowing me to come. All the family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love You
