The Galeotti family has touched our lives in profound and eternal ways-and we are forever grateful to God for the gift of this family. We know Hank best through our friendship with his son Mike, and Mikes's family. The foundation of love that Hank gave to Mike is a gift that passes through to us and to so many others every day. We thank God there is a Hank Galeotti, and look forward to an awesome reunion with him some day in the better world to come!
Our love, prayers and tears,

Aunt Doris and all the family,

Uncle Hank will always be in our hearts. I have many fond memories while visiting you so many times. Always in that awesome pool, BBQing, playing cards and all you adults swearing and laughing and shooing us kids out of the room.
With love and sorrow,
Nancy

You are so loved and treasured Galeotti Family. Big Papa was an inspiration to so many of us. He is a true hero and will be missed greatly. But we join in the faith and confident hope that we will see him again. Thank you Father in heaven for Big Papa! Love you all so much.

Dear Doris and Family,
Hank was my first real boss for my first real job at Beecham. He took a tremendous chance on me. Whenever I look back at the successes in my career, I have him to thank. I am eternally grateful for his confidence. You have my deepest sympathy.
p.s. His words of wisdom still echo in my mind 24 years later... "Never drive behind a man wearing a hat." I will never forget him.
