I have a lot of great memories of Galen when he was the top guy at Burger King when I was 16 years old. He taught me a lot about Business and I am fortunate to have been a part of his life. Thank you for being a part of mine

I am so sorry to hear about Galen's passing. Unfortunately I will be out of town next Thursday to attend the Celebration of his life. Galen was such a nice man. Always positive and funny. I remember when he would bring us smoked whitefish, such a treat! Thank you for being in my life Galen!
