We wish we could be with you this morning, to say a proper good-bye to Al, the neighbor who became a friend after we met on the third floor at Chatfield, about a year ago. Discovering that his lovely wife was Gloria, Claire's childhood chum, sealed the deal for real. We are missing him already..

Claire and Bob

While I didn't know Al very well personally, I feel like I did through his brother, Julius. Julie, was my loyal president, unfailing confidant and friend for a long, long time. His loving wife Gert, and three caring and brilliant sons, Alan, Scotty and Jeffrey all are par of a legacy that touches Al and has enriched my life and given me more than they know.
My heart goes out to all those who are grieving for Al.

We have fond memories of a couple of meals shared with our parents Blanche and Richard Lieberman in Florida.

Sending my deepest condolences to the entire Galin family.

Alfred Galin's son and daughter-in-law, Martin and Donna, lived next to my wife,
Susan, and me in West Hartford. They adored their father and shared many memories of him with us. Our deepest sympathies to them and to their entire family.

We are sorry for your loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. May years of so many wonderful memories comfort you at this time.

Dorie, I am so sorry about your dad. I remember him so well, one terrific father with a sense of humor to match.
Gail

So very sorry for your loss. My heartfelt thoughts are it's you and your family. I remembered Al well. Take care. Roz

My condolences to Gloria and all of Al's children, grandchildren and family. If there's a day when the internet seems a little slow, rest easy knowing it's probably Al doing what he loves, tinkering with the latest version of Windows or downloading movies for his friends! Reading through Al's history, I have even more respect for whom I already knew was a great man.

I still carry fond childhood memories of our family visits to West Hartford. It was an extra treat to hop over from Auntie Frum's house to visit you, too. Al was a neat guy and I know he'll be missed. Sincerest sympathy to all of you.

Love all very much; so sorry I wasn't able to attend today. Out of all my uncles, Uncle Al was the mysterious one for me. He was the policeman that seemed so quite when I was around. I have fond memories of staying with him and Aunt Gloria. My children and I are so thankful for the time we had together in Florida when Rachael graduated college. I am so sad for the family, but like Dorie said, the boys are having a big party in heaven. I am happy they are together again.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

God bless,
Debbie

So sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about the passing of your father, Gerri, Marty and Dorie. Hopefully your beautiful memories of him will bring you some peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Wish the whole family could have been there to pay our last respects. Having Al down here in Florida with me for the last 10+ years has given me that branch to family that I missed being so far from CT and I am sure that Al and Gloria missed being so far too. When Ju-Ju passed, having Al nearby was comforting to me selfishly to still have that Galin connection to that generation close to me. Al was famous to me for his Ben Who? and him and I always teased each other to make them look at their shirt and then bloop them in the nose. I have passed this on to the generations under me, and will remind them always it was Uncle Al who this is attributed to. I will deeply miss his sense of humor, and those who knew him well knew that under his rough grumpy facade there was a big softy in there who adored his family and he will surely be missed by all. Al's passing closes a chapter of the Galin Boys from the WW2 generation, some passed long ago now, but all had larger than their stature personalities, and Al will be missed. Sending my love from the Florida Galins to the CT Galins!
Love,
Ben Who
