Harry Galewsky, Jr.

Sonia and Family,

The office was so saddened to hear about Harry's passing. We started exchanging Harry stories and walking down memory lane.

We all worked for Harry for many years. Ray remembers working for Harry while the office was still in your home on Dowlen with at least one of the boys still a toddler.

Harry would stop by the office after he retired and we would all catch up on each other's lives and of course what projects we had going at the time. We will certainly miss his visits.

Many of those who have worked and trained under Harry have taken that valuable training and gone far in the construction and engineering industry.

Our condolences to all of the family.

Dear Sonia and family, I extend my deepest sympathy to you all. My contact with you both was in Beaumont
in the 1960's-1970's., owned Greengate Garden Center in Bmt. Now am a retired, Landscape Architect. I remember you both so well and was sadded to see that Harry passed. Warm thoughts.

A long time friend has gone home. May God strengthen you all threw this time of lost. My prayers are with you all.

Sonia, It has been so long since we saw each other, but I often remember our across the street neighbors on Berkshire Lane. You and Harry had the sweetest little boys and I know my children loved playing with them. Was that really so long ago? My heart breaks for you, I know what it is like to lose a loving husband. God bless you, Amelia Scales and family

Sonia I am so sorry to help about Harry's passing. He was my first boss in Engineering and help me develop into the designer I am today. He was not only my boss but he was like my second father to me. And a great boss he was. He will be greatly missed.

I knew Harry for the last few years and he was a really great guy. We fished together on several occasions. Harry loved to fish!! Harry was always in a good mood and seemed to be enjoying his life. He will be missed by many.

Mr Harry, what a friend you have been to me! I will never forget you. I will remember always our talks we had in the boat on Sabine. Sometimes we had folks with us but we had a few days when it was just you and I, and you were quite frank with me. I want you to to know that I listened to you.

He was a great man and I always considered him as my uncle. He was always kind and accepting of me. I really appreciate his life. I know he was an excellent dad and a wonderful husband to Sonia.
He was good friends with my dad and I know there is a connection between my dad and Harry's meeting Sonia. I do not know if Milton introduced them at A&M or was just there.
Even though it was several years I really enjoyed my last visit with him and Sonia.
I wish I could have gone fishing with him.

My life has been blessed by my friendship with Harry. When things got tough in my life I would go see him and get a “Galewsky fix” and things were always better after that. I will miss him.

The world has lost a wonderful old school man, funny,brilliant, twinkly eyed, WWII Naval Air Corp Vet with a can-do attitude.
Fortunately, for the world, Sonia and their sons are cut from the same cloth.
I hear there are some big fish in the gulf that are swimming easier...

With love, Terry

Sonia and the Boys,

Tears run down my face knowing that my last fishing trip was my last fishing trip with my fishing buddy, Harry. He did not catch that 6 pound speckled trout but he did catch a monster red and was very happy that. It wore him out reeling it in. I extend my most sincere condolences on the loss of your hubsand and father.

Mrs. Galewsky, Andrew and Family,

I am so sad to read of Mrs. Galewsky's passing on Sunday. He touched my life in many, many wonderful ways and I have thought of him often through the years. Unfortunately, I have not traveled back to the Beaumont area too many times and when I was in the area, I did not have the opportunity of visiting. Please know that you and your families will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Also, I would like for you to know that he will not be forgotten. He influenced many lives as our former employer and what a pleasure it was to have known him and to have worked for and with him. Since becoming a teacher, I have often used him as an example of a person who lead by example and who was an excellent leader. So, in many ways, he is touching the lives of many young people in my classes who will never have the honor of meeting him, but they will know that he was a leader and a man of outstanding moral character when we study leaders, leadership, and leadership characteristics. What a blessing it is for you to have been able to call him both "husband" and "father."

Again, my sincerest condolences and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Cathy (Howell) Brenner
