My cousin Mick and I were as close as brother in our earlier years. The Gallivan Farm bordering St Joseph's Catholic School in Ivesdale was the center of much after school activities amoungst all of us including all the Gallivan Boys and those like myself seeking adventure and loads of fun. Those memories are some of the best I retain-especially in long winter nights when I venture we played more than a thousand games of Monopoly or build layer upon layer of tunnels in their hay loaf.
Mick leaves a long history of good works, high morality, strong ethics, and a deep love of family and friends.
While he will be missed, many wonderful memories will live on forever.
Adios my friend,
Mike Harshbarger
