I am very sorry to hear of Frank's passing.Frank, Harvey Enloe, Don O'Brien and I were a foursome to be reckoned with. I was very fortunate to be one of Frank's friends.I left Marist in 1954, however, my family and I returned for a visit in 1966 and had a party at Don's house. We told stories deep into the nite and of course drank lot's of beer.Fortunately, Frank and I kept in close contact and he kept me up to date on recent news of those still around. I will always remember Frank as a brother and close friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

I give my deepest condolences to the family.

Mr. Galvin and my father were truly brothers. I have fond memories of him; from his great wit and laughter to being crazy just for the fun of it. One of the best memories I have is my family and I riding in one if his new cadillacs. I was eight. What made it classic was he was flying up a gravel road at Vogel State Park with inches to spare. Truly something you would see in a comedy!

You will be missed.

Mark, may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.  Healing wishes for you and your family.

To Mark, Stephanie, Jim, Caitlin, and our dear goddaughter, Claire -- may you find peace and comfort in each other and in the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has now welcomed your father and grandfather into His midst.  With love and prayers, from all the Manteros.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family. My memories of Frank are too numberous to recount but what stands out most is his outgoing personality and exhuberance for life.  His loyalty and friendship to our family was treasured by us all. God Bless you and may you find comfort knowing he is playing a great game of baseball in heaven! Linda Vicknair

To the family our deepest condolences are offered. May you rely on God as your strength and your refuge to get you thru this difficult time.(John 5:28)

Laura,
Fred, Jean, Anna and Amy Mistretta are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.  All of our love, Jean

Paul, Please accept our prayers for the repose of your Father's soul.  The Solsruds

Laura,
  I am so sorry. Your dad was a wonderful man.  You and you family are in my prayers.

Mark, thinking about you and your family.  May God surround you with love and peace.

I am not sure if I ever had the privilege of meeting Mr. Galvin but I am very good friends with his daughter Libby. I know Libby adored her dad and that is enough for me to know he must have been an awesome father and memorable man.
RIP Mr. Galvin and may your star shine each night for your family

Carolyn and family,
I have so many great memories of Frank playing basketball, baseball, goofing off with my dad and Warren and Thad.  Once following a game at Piedmont Park we went to Jennings Rose room and i fell and cut my leg.  Frank carried me in to my dad and they took me to go get stitches.  He brought so much laughter to life.  My deepest sympathy.
Love, Judi Vicknair Reynolds
