NICK GALATI Obituary

GALATI, NICK

My Dad, Nick, went to be with to the Lord on May 2nd 2013. The best dad anyone could ask for, with great gentle humor and was what a gentlemen is truly. He loved the Lord and went to church every Sunday and holiday until his body gave out after the age of 90, but we know he is with Jesus now.

He leaves behind his 2 daughters Darlene Pifalo of Gainesville, Roberta Galati and her husband Bill Goulding ( a son he never had & loved) of Berwyn Pa...plus many nieces and nephews, that were with him through the past many years.

He is missed, but is now with this "beautiful wife" Adele, who passed away Oct 1,1999. We love you Dad with all our hearts!! Thank you for being a wonderful role model of all who knew you.

You will be honored as a great Dad and a WW2 vet on June 5th (your wife's birthday) at Forest Meadows Funeral Home on 4100 NW 39th Ave and NW 43 St at 11:30 AM.

Arrangements are under the care of Forest Meadows Funeral Home, 725 NW 23rd Ave, Gainesville, FL 32609, (352)378-2528. Please sign her guestbook at www.forestmeadowsfh.com

Mr. Galati was very fortunate to have a wonderful daughter who loved him very much. I am sure that he and his wife are proud of her many accomplishments, but mostly of her character and her care for her community. I am sorry that I did not have the opportunity to meet him, but very pleased to say that I know her. I am very sorry for your loss Darlene. May God bless you and your sister.

Darlene, your tender descriptions of this gentle man speak worlds of love embedded, woven, into your heart and life . . . and through you into the lives of your children, and all who know you. What a glorious path he and you have shown, and are continuing to show, all who truly see and believe. May the Lord bless you and your family always.
