BRONSON was born on July 3, 1928, to William Marion

On May 16, 1959, Gale was married to Patricia Ann Hansen at the Bedison R.L.D.S. Church in Conception Junction, Missouri. Their home was blessed with two beautiful children; a son named David Gale Bronson, was born on March 20, 1960, and a son named Russell James Bronson, was born on April 15, 1961. Gale and his family made their home in the Grandview/Belton, Missouri area until 1977, when they moved to the Ft. Myers/Naples, Florida area. In 1984, Gale and his wife moved to Corpus Christi, Texas, and in 1985 moved to San Antonio, Texas, where they lived until they gathered back to the Center Place area in 1987. They have lived in Lone Jack, Missouri since 1990. Gale was an ordained Minister of God's Holy Priesthood. He spent 22 years as an Aaronic Priest, and 27 years as an Elder of the Meichisedec Priesthood. His life and service to God's creation bore witness of his deep love of the Gospel and of his commitment to his Heavenly Father and his Savior, Jesus Christ.
