Gale Albert Reynolds passed away on
Feb. 24, 2019, at the age of 94. Reynolds
served as a Professional Standards Exec-
utive for ACSA from August 1975 until
July 1990, when a heart attack prompted
his reluctant retirement. Prior to working
for ACSA, Reynolds was employed by
the Norwalk La Mirada Unified School
District as a teacher, assistant principal
and principal. Reynolds attended Pomona
College, where he received his Bachelor of
Arts degree in June 1949, and subsequent-
ly attended Claremont Graduate School,
from which he received his Master of Arts
degree in June 1956. Reynolds was also
a proud veteran of World War II, having
enlisted in the U.S. Navy in January 1942
and served for the duration of the war.
Reynolds is survived by Betty, his wife of
72 years, his brother Chet, his two sons,
Scott and Roger, and four grandchildren.
