In this time of sadness, may these promises comfort Mrs. Galasso and her family. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace and happy memories be with you, dear family.

Dear Cheryl & family:
I had the pleasure of working with John for a few years at Seaver, just an amazing guy. I looked up to John, and will remember him with a smile.
After hearing the news an architect friend told me “what a sad day for the world” So true.
