Sgt Paul Fletcher Galloway Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Sargent First Class Paul Fletcher Galloway was born June 25, 1948 in Loris, South Carolina. He was the fourth born son of the late Herbert and Josephine Floyd Galloway. Sergeant Galloway grew up and received his public education in Florence, County South Carolina. He graduated from Wilson High School Class of 1967. Paul joined The United States Army where he served proudly in the Vietnam War. Sargent First Class Galloway retired in Columbia South Carolina to be with his family in 1991 after serving his country honorably for twenty-three years. After retiring from military service, he gained employment with several well-know restaurants in the Columbia and Blythewood areas where he became affectionately known as “Sarge”! He was most recently employed with McNulty’s Taproom, where he would often comment, “We are all family because I love you all”. One of Paul’s favorite pastimes was cooking; especially wings and soul food. Though he could be opinionated, he was a very funny jokester who had an infectious laugh. Sarge loved dogs; especially “Sabrina” and cars. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Josephine Floyd Galloway; three brothers, Harold, Levon, and Herbert Galloway.
