Galen was a lifetime member of Salem Church of Darmstadt. He was a faithful volunteer at the YMCA for almost 20 years. From the time he was 14 years old, he spent a lot of time at Ron Korff’s barber shop cleaning and he was the ”Boss”. He loved going to Disney World and traveled to many states. The highlight of his life was going on the Honor Flight with his dad.
Galen was preceded in death by his grandparents, Theodore and Helen Gerichs and Henry and Sadie Meier.
He is survived by his parents, Theodore and Lillian Gerichs, Jr.; aunts, uncles and cousins.
