He’s the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Armando “Chick” Galella is a Pearl Harbor survivor and World War II veteran who is the toast of his tranquil town, population 10,000. But this year is extra special because Galella is 100 — he marked a century on New Year’s Day.
On Saturday, the locals saluted their beloved patriotic hero with a motorcade and a surprise recorded shout-out from country music legend Willie Nelson, who is a fellow military vet and Galella favorite. Fireworks at dusk topped off the party. “I’m just a little Italian boy from Barnhardt Avenue,” the centenarian told The Post, adding, “I can’t complain. The good Lord has been good to me …,” Galella has had quite a life.
