  1. I hope you are comforted by Ed and my many warm thoughts and all our love goes out to you and Carol and family. Deepest sympathy.
    Love Mom and Dad

  2. What an incredible man! He always had a smile on his face and an uplifting word. I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Galbraith with both my boys. As a surrogate grandfather, I always knew that they were in good hands at the ballfields and concession stands. Personally, I appreciated all the support and encouragement he gave to me and my family. Perhaps the best advice was to grab ahold of life and share it with the people that matter. We pray that the warmth of his life continues to hold Tim and Carol and all the grandkids in the days to come. Please remember you have our love and support.
