I just found out about Mr. Galbreath's passing and would like to express my deepest condolences to the family. He was one of my main professor's while I attended SUNY M'Ville in the Food Science/Processing area in the late 1970's. As a teacher, he took his role seriously and was always an encourager. He helped a shy and timid person find the strength in myself to succeed and look beyond the immediate. When I look/think back at my time in Morrisville, he is always in the front of my memories often with little quips and quotes that he would start the class out with. May his soul rest in God's grace and may your family know that he was truly an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing him with us all. Blessings.

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr. Galbreath in 2015 at the scholarship dinner at Morrisville. He was delightful to speak with and very inspiring. Thank you for teaching us so much more about the college that night. It was so interesting. Rest in peace dear soul....

Thanks for being a true supporter of Moville and the Food Science programs. I graduated from Morrisville in 1972 and continued on to Clemson to finish by BS degree. I owe a lot to Morrisville and people like you and Leo Sharpe for guided me in the right direction. Zeke Zamorski

Mrs. Galbreath, I know you better than John and your loss is felt by everyone in Morrisville. You made your lives there and brought so much to the community. He will be missed. My Father Douglas Westcott sends his prayers and heart felt sorrow to you and the family. I will not be able to attend the services obligations in Oneida home are important. I will see you when I return to Morrisville next week. Again my heart and prayers go to you all. Pat Westcott Morse
