I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST EXPRESS MY HEARTFELT
THANK YOU'S
ON BEHALF OF THE GALVAN FAMILY
FOR THE GREAT SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCE
YOU ALL HAVE DEMONSTRATED HERE TODAY.
JOE GALVAN'S PERSONALITY MADE HIM ONE OF A KIND.
HE NEVER PUSHED HIS WAYS ON ANYONE NEVER ASKED FOR AWARDS OR
RECEIVED CREDIT FOR HIS DEEDS AND SUCCESSES RESULTING FROM
A SPECIFIC STRUGGLE. IN FACT HE BECAME UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN PEOPLE
INSISTED ON MAKING A FUSS OVER HIM OR PUSHED TO HARD THAT HE BE RECOGNIZED.
THIS WAS JUST HIS WAY.
JOE DESERVES A COLLECTIVE ACCLAMATION FROM ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM
WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY SHOULD HAVE PRECEDED HIS PASSING FROM THIS
EARTH.HOWEVER , HE WOULD NOT HEAR OF IT SUCH IS THE WAY OF
JOE GALVAN JR.
HERE'S A MAN WHOSE GREATEST PLEASURES IN LIFE CAME FROM THE LITTLE
THINGS. BE IT WALKING WITH HIS CAMERA TAKING PICTURES FOR US ALL TO
ADMIRE.CASTING A LINE WITH HIS FISHING POLE WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE
SLIGHTEST NIBBLE TO COME HIS WAY.VISITS FROM HIS
CHILDREN,GRANDCHILDREN,FAMILY AND FRIENDS.THE CHANCE TO SPEND
HOLIDAYS TOGETHER WITH THOSE HE LOVED SO MUCH.THESE WERE JUST A
FEW THINGS THAT MATTERED THE MOST.
JUST TO WATCH HIS CONTENTMENT TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT HOW TOO
LIVE MY OWN LIFE.THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THIS GREAT MAN TAUGHT US
ALL. HOW DO WE ALL SAY THANK YOU.HE WAS A GOOD MAN A MAN OF INNER
PEACE IN ALL A BEAUTIFUL PERSON WITH A HEART OF GOLD.
FOR ME I AM BLESSED FOR WHENEVER I WANT TOO REMEMBER JOE TO THE
FULLEST I WILL DAYDREAM OF THE THINGS I KNEW HIM BEST BY.
HIS BIG HEART HIS SMILE. I ENVY HIS CHILDREN FOR INHEIRTING HIS TRAITS.
ALL THE TIME HE WAS WHAT I WANTED TOO BE. A BIG BROTHER A PROTECTOR
A TEACHER A FRIEND.
NOW I WOULD LIKE TOO SAY A WORD JUST TO YOU JOE. I KNOW THAT GOD WILL KEEP YOU SAFE AND YOU WILL KEEP HIM BUSY. FOR THIS IS NOT A GOODBYE JUST GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEW ADVENTURES. ALL OF US WILL MISS YOU. JOE I KNOW YOUR FAMILY WAS ALWAYS YOUR GUIDING LIGHT NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE THEIRS. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU JOE....AND AS WELL ALL OF YOU HERE TODAY
