Michael, You must be watching over your four grandchildren as they are good people with excellent academic and athletic skills. You inspired their parents and they in turn are great life examples for the grandchildren. In many ways you and Barbara will live on for many generations. Bests, Mike Galbreath

Mike and his lovely wife, Barbara, have a wonderful legacy of three children, Michael, Gina and Cathy. Mike's grandchildren and children have received his gifts of athleticism, intelligence and perseverance to excel. His spirit will continue motivating his family to take the extra base, make a clean pivot at second, or drive hard to the bucket.

Mike, Gina and Cathy, We are so deeply saddened by the death of your dad. He must have been a wonderful dad as your devotion to him, especially when he was so sick, is an inspiration to the rest of your family. Be assured that he is back in the arms of Barbara. Love, Jan Galbreath
