My sincere condolences to the entire Galaviz family.
Please give a warm hug to Mr. Galaviz for me.
I grew up in Troy on Dashwood next door to Chico and Shirley,
they were the best neighbors, any kid could ever hope for.
Shirley was always kind and loving to us, especially when she saw chaos in my own family.
Mr. Galaviz was quite a role model and father figure, always willing to help with my mini-bike, tree fort, and later with my first car. He always had a smile while riding his big tractor, cutting the grass in the field between our houses.
Years later, when I moved back into the neighborhood on Minnesota with my own family, it was nice to see both of them again. The last time I saw them I was out getting mail when they pulled over in the car to say hi, and tell me they were moving. Afterwards, Mr. Mindy and I were having a beer in his garage, talking about how we missed them and the neighborhood would never be the same without them.
God Bless them both, and thank you for all the great memories!
Big Hugs..
