Dear Linda and Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Dad sure made me laugh with his jokes and witty sense of humor. May God bless all of you, especially at this time.
Michael and Judy, we are very sorry for your family’s loss. As I read his obituary, I see how much he enjoyed life and shared his time with so many, he is an angel that will still continue to watch over his family and friends. You are all in our prayers and wish you and your family a safe return to your homes.
Love you guys,
Clara and David, Jaws, Sadie and your Topper
My deepest sympathy and regret goes to the entire Galiano family, as i have seen over the years how dear and loved your father was by his entire family. I will surely miss him and his smile as he had a smile that could not help, but radiate to everyone around him. I will also miss all his sarcastic, “WITTY” humor and the fact that he had everyone convinced that i always tortured him! 🙂
My toughts and prayer go out to you all in this time of sorrow!
