Lowell Galliani Obituary

Lowell Alan Galliani April 27, 1950 - May 20, 2020 Lowell Alan Galliani passed away peacefully at home in San Anselmo from glioblastoma, with his family at his side. In 1974, Lowell established his own dental lab, where he worked for over 45 years and was known for his meticulous and high-quality work. In 1987, he met his wife Maureen, and they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in October of 2019. Lowell fully embraced her two children as his own. He enjoyed taking the kids to museums, helping with science projects, and taking long drives exploring the Bay Area and beyond. He and Maureen loved attending events at the Smith Rafael Film Center and visiting Disneyland and Death Valley. In the past 10 years, Lowell's lifelong appreciation for music developed into a true passion. He supported countless artists both near and far by buying merchandise, taking photos and videos, and even helping load and unload equipment. He was a fixture at hundreds of local shows and could quickly be recognized by his jaunty captain's hat and big smile. He is preceded by his parents, Julius "Fritz" and Claire Galliani. He is survived by his wife Maureen; son Evan Silletto (Amy) and grandson Evan; daughter Angela Rhoades (Scott); and sister Julie Manso (Fernando) and niece Gina.

Lowell was a distant cousin of mine. His father and my father were first cousins. I happened to be looking up something when this notice popped up on my screen. Although I did not have contact with him in years, I remember Lowell as many others expressed: a kind and caring person. My condolences (albeit them VERY late) to his wife and children.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to spend a little time with Lowell this past year and wanted to say what an amazing man he truly was. He knew so much about the city ( SF) where my family grew up and I was able to learn so much about my parents neighborhood. My parents have both passed and Lowells warmth and kindness always filled my heart. He was a great man and will be missed. Stacy Davis Visiting Angels

you incredible human, caring for so many without hesitation, from the minute you adopted us little sailors.

We were writing new music that evening, much softer than usual. I hope you felt it Captain --those mellow, gentle sounds are yours forever.

Warmest hugs to Maureen & family. Lowell is the heart of our community, and will always be.

Lowell was my cousin from my mom's side. I only got to see him a few times during my life but I remember him as a gentle handsome person with a kind voice. My heart goes out to the family and his friends. I know he is with Jesus and family members who have gone before him. God bless all of you who were blessed to know him and have a close relationship with him. My mom (Gloria Galliani) loved him dearly and was proud of him and his dental business. We love you Lowell till we see you again.

I graduated from Drake High School with Lowell. He was always a very kind person and I always enjoyed him in our classes. We continued to connect throughout the years on Facebook and we had a common interest in dentistry as he was a wonderful dental technician. To his wife Maureen and family, sending you my heartfelt sympathy to you all.
