I always looked forward to our rare visits with Aunt Natalie and Uncle Johnny. Of course seeing our cousins, especially Kenny, being the same age as me, was a treat, but I was always impressed with how Uncle Johnny talked to us kids on an adult level. He would ask us about ourselves and share something from his experiences in a light and friendly manner. It made me feel grown up. He was a good man and will be missed by many.

Uncle John, your generation of fun loving, hard working Galvins, set the bar pretty high for the next generations, but you all sure made it look easy!

My heartfelt condolences to Natalie and family. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Take much comfort in Gods words found at 1 Cor. 1:3,4 during this time of grief.
