Earl Gallimore

Earl Gallimore came to Hermann Transportation just over two years ago in November of 2014. He became one of our most distinguished drivers in the short time he was with us; admired by both colleagues and customers alike. Earl was the kind of person that was willing to help without being asked and someone who would always responded positively to requests.

Tragically, on the road on December 7, 2016, Earl was taken from us. The victim of an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Earl leaves behind three children Shama Brown, Janay Gallimore, and Andre Gallimore, and his loving wife Winsom. Earl loved his family. He worked tirelessly and endured odd hours to help with the constant care required by his son Andre, who is mentally and physically disabled. Earl would carry Andre from his bedroom to the bath every night before his day would end and would start the next as early as midnight whenever needed.

Without Earl, his wife Winsom is now solely responsible for Andre's care and is challenged to somehow make ends meet. Andre doesn't understand why his father is gone but the loss is deeply felt and the needs for his care will only become more demanding with age.

Please join us in doing what we can for Earl’s family. Think of Earl and the sorrow his family must endure throughout this holiday season. Earl the truck driver who had a long life ahead of him. Earl the friend we used to talk to every day. Earl the colleague who helped everyone at work.

Earl the father who can no longer carry his son to bed. Rest in peace Earl Gallimore.
