William F. Galenski

Billy and I were like family. We grew up in the 60s when life was simple..sex..drugs..rock & roll. He was a great pool player and traveled the U.S. beating some of the best players out of their money. He was a road mgr with some famous bands and loved it. He had a loving family whom he adored and talked about often. He helped a lot of people through his encouragement, sharing his experience, strength and hope. I will be forever grateful for the memories and all the crazy times as well as the sober times. I offer my prayers to Anna, Betty, Patsy, Tammy, Kevin and Justin. Love, Sharon Edwards

To whom it may concern: Billy was the kind of man that was always there for a friend, I met Billy thirty years ago when a mutual friend, Miss Millie Counts, sent him to help me. Billy did not know me (a Boston Yankee), but he came anyway and without any hesitation helped me. When he finally came to our fellowship, I was there to welcome and hug him and we greeted each other whenever we met ever since! I loved him and know it was mutual! He was a terrific, grateful, honorable and much loved man and we all (the three thousand Unity Club attendees) will miss his words of Wisdom, simple approach to life and wonderful witty sense of humor! Sincere regrets to his family and friends, Dan Tierney President of the Unity Club 116 B W. Broad Street Falls Church, VA

My Dad, what can I say, those of you who knew him know and those who didnt know him missed out. Dad was the guy who love people enough to tell them the truth,he would not enable you to continue to fail, you grab one of your boot straps and he would grab the other and pull your a** up, the guy that would get out of his sick bed to help you, people like that are rare in this world, he was never to wrapped up in his own sh*t to help you with yours and I have said it before, the world is less than without him. Dad you will continue to guide me through my journey as a man, father and husband. You are never gone, you are always with me.

To all members of the Galenski Family, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in this difficult time. With Love, Todd Hooper and Rob Westergard

Billy, I remember playing pool with you. You would give me two shots to your one, and a hand span to put the que ball where ever I liked and you would still kick my butt. I remember asking you to go with me when I bought my first car. The sales guys kept talking to you and not me, and you said, “talk to her shes the one with the money”. Twice, before we left the car lot. Your bluntness made me laugh. I remember trips to Ocean City. And how you would feed the pigeons. I remember how you used to say, “the vocies in your head are out to get you”, because you said I might become an alcoholic if I ever started drinking. I remember so many things about you. But mostly I remember the goodness of you, that is you Billy. Thank you for having been part of my life. I wish you peace. Yours always, P.F
