NUCO, WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT NUCO HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND, FATHER, GRANDFATHER. HE WAS A VERY ORGANIZED PERSON EVERYTHING JUST SO. HE WILL BE MISSED SO VERY MUCH. I WANT TO THANK THE GALAVIZ FAMILY FOR SHARING HIM WITH US, SO MANY PEOPLE BENEFITED FROM HIS SUCH GIVING WAYS. I PLAYED FOR NUCO ON THE WOMENS POOL TOURNAMENTS FOR THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 41, IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM GIVING ME THAT LOOK THAT I BETTER NOT LOSE OR I'D WALK BACK TO PHOENIX WHEN WE PLAYED IN TUCSON I GUESS I WOULD HAVE WALKED. HE WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS, AND I HOPE THAT THE FAMILY WILL KNOW THAT HE WAS LOVED AND RESPECTECD BY SO MANY, GOD BLESS PAT, HIS KIDS, GRANDKIDS & SISTERS & BROTHERS.

It's never easy to say goodbye to the people we love. What helps get us through a tough time like this is knowing someday we will be reunited with them. My heart goes out to the Galaviz family. "Nuco", you will be missed!

Condolences to the Galaviz family from the Roberto Esquivel family. I played ball with Nuco for several years. We played for the Watkins Inn and The Big Apple. My children remember growing up going to the ball games and the tournaments in Prescott. It was an honor and extreme pleasure to play for Nuco. Please except our heart felt sympathy and prayers.

A final word of good-bye to a special brother-in-law! I may not have always agreed with him, however he truly expressed what love and compassion were, to me on every occasion we were allowed the privilege of spending time with each other, at our various family gatherings. Henry will always be a part of my "good" past, as will his comforting words of the joy of his life as expressed in his children.
God bless you Henry.

My prayers are with the Galaviz Family. I remember "Nuco" as a very giving individual, always doing great things for the community, and the fun dances he organized at Post 41!

Having Nucco as a friend has been an honor. He has always been so giving. His work for the American Legion Post 41, special dances, Post convention gatherings, trips etc. were special because of him. Nucco will be missed by all his friends. May he rest in peace.

Lauri, Foxy, GiGi, Nicky, Janie, Becky, Bridget, Pat and grandkids and his brothers and sisters, I am so sorry for the lost of your father, tata and brother. My prayers are with you. Nuco was a very genuine person, a true friend to many and a person who was not selfish of himself, always really to give. Nuco, YOU ARE going to be missed for all the hard work you did at the American Legion Post 41! The time you invested to make something work so you could give it back to the community that you cared for! And NEVER asking for anything in return, people like you are hard to find!!! People still talk of great dances you threw. No one will surpass those great dances you put on. Not only were you one hell of the baseball player, I can see you now playing for Mrs. Turner at Central Park but you were one hell of softball player. I can still see and feel those linedrives coming down my way. You lived a great life and now it's time to go home and rest. Your Mom (La Weda) and your Dad (Gordo or as other people knew him El Galaviz) will be there waiting for you. You will surely be missed by so, so, so, many people. Have a great journey home. God Bless
