He was the son of the late Edward Albert Galmish and Mary Kossick Galmish. He was a 1965 graduate of Poland High School.

His true passions, if you asked him, was having the best kept yards in Florida and cabin in Blue Ridge, GA. His love for the holidays was felt by anyone that walked into his home. Every holiday was special, especially when he got to spend it with the ones he loved most.
