I tried sending a message earlier, but for some reason it did not work so I am trying again . Mr. Ebright was such a nice neighbor to us on Penrose . Our family remembers all the kids and we did have fun playing together. We just want you to know we are thinking of you all and you are in our prayers....The Biel family (still on Penrose) a special hello to Linda and Kelly.

Barb and each member of Galen's family,
Galen was a fine neighbor for 38 years! I found him to be a man of strong convictions who loved, you, his family deeply. I know you will miss him greatly...we will, too! May God, the God of all Comfort, comfort your hearts tomorrow and in the coming months; and may many sweet memories warm your hearts.

As a Lieutenant Governor for the Great Ohio District of Optimist International (www.optimist.org) Galen traveled across the State to help other Optimist Clubs and deliver programs for our communities. The District Annual Meeting was held several times in Toledo because of his efforts and persistence. Galen was also appointed as the Governor's Assistant for several administrations. ~Past Lt. Gov.

Barb & Galen's family,
I was so sorry to learn of Galen's passing. He taught me a lot when I worked for him at Buckeye-Rent-a-Car. We had a lot of fun in those days. May your memories bring you comfort and smiles.

And... Galen also proudly served his community as a Monclova Township Trustee. I remember him to be a fair and honest man. His tenure aligned with the beginning of all the growth and change that caused Monclova to be what it is today. My condolences to Mike and the rest of the family.
