Wendy Haefner wrote a sympathy message

“My name is Wendy Haefner and I live in Vinton, IA. I worked with Galen when he was at Mossman and Mossman. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer gentleman. He always had time to talk with you and was such a pleasant person. I am so sorry for your loss. He was certainly a people person.”
